The NICU Roller Coaster

We were told by the NICU doctors that our boys would have many ups and downs throughout their stay. Every time we have several good days in a row I start to think that everything will continue to go smoothly and then I am reminded that this truly is a roller coaster ride and we aren't allowed to get off........ I hate to have to report negative news but unfortunately this is our reality. Alex has been our little show off for the last few weeks and now he has an infection. The doctors told us that at some point we should expect them all to have an infection of some sort. That is just the nature of having premature babies. Alex is back on the ventilator to help him rest and give him some assistance breathing. He also started a course of antibiotics. This should knock out the infection in a few days.


On a lighter note...... Connor and Cade are both doing well and continue to gain weight. Yesterday Cade taught me a lesson about changing little boys diapers. I learned you must be fast and keep everything covered or chances are you will get peed on! Thank you Cade for teaching me this valuable lesson :)


We appreciate all of the prayers. Please continue to pray for the health our little guys!
