  1. Our primary nurse

    updates

    Today Chris and I decided to pick our very first primary nurse. This had been our second shift with her and my gut told me she would be an awesome primary. It is so obvious that she loves our boys and thinks they are as cute as we think they are. Haha! Plus, she has […]

  2. Baby steps

    updates

    The boys are doing really well. Lucas continues to fight his infection but seemed much more alert this morning. He had a 3rd blood transfusion yesterday and today he looks more pink and is breathing better. He can’t seem to get off the oxygen yet though. They have it at its lowest level and they take […]

  3. Fighting champs

    updates

    Lucas’ 24 hour blood culture came back negative which means the antibiotics are working and my little boy is working hard to get rid of the bug. So Lucas’ haircut looks awful. Haha.

And his central line was taken out on the 10th. On the 11th, they took him off the high flow which he was on for a couple of days just […]

  5. Lurking about

    updates

    I was playing around with some shots of Lucas in his incubator and discovered an interloper lurking in the background.

  6. Moving day

    updates

    Thankfully, yesterday we had 10 wonderful friends help us move into our new apartment. It only took 3 hours. So that’s one less thing to think about. We are still hoping to sublease our old apartment soon, so keep your fingers crossed! The boys are doing great! They are both gaining weight steadily! Both have […]

  7. Transfusion number two

    updates

    Lucas was having a little more difficulty breathing and so last night they tested his hemoglobin and they found his levels quite low (83) and his coloring was quite pale. So last night Lucas received his second blood transfusion. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen through your body which explains why he was having more difficulty […]
