  1. Next step

    updates

    Lucas continues to show no symptoms of being sick or in pain. Actually, both boys are doing great. They are the cutest things in the world. Chris and I could just watch them for hours. They make us laugh constantly. Sebastian actually peed on his face this morning. That was pretty hilarious! So they started […]

  2. Upper GI results

    updates

    So the good news is that yesterdays upper GI xray came back negative for malrotation. However, the doctors continue to investigate why Lucas has increasing levels of conjugated bilirubin. They have consulted with a GI specialist and we are waiting for them to come by and take a look. They also as of today found […]

  3. Remaining positive and patient

    updates

    We will be home soon and our NICU 2 plus months will be a distant memory. Yesterday at rounds we were told that unfortunately discharge may not be until after the weekend. The doctors are waiting to consult gastroenterology and surgery for Lucas. After blood work came back showing that Lucas’ unconjugated bilirubin is not […]

  4. Doctors Rounds

    updates

    I just wanted to send an update on how the boys are doing medically. Everything has been going so smoothly lately! The boys continue to grow and gain weight. They are slowly moving away from their prem grunts and developing newborn cries. This is all great news. As you may have read Sebastian recently came […]

I’ve been looking on Kijiji. Earlier today I meant to forward Chris the link to the lady’s […]

  7. Easter weekend

    updates

    Back at the hospital…It’s funny how everyone kept talking about looking forward to the long weekend. I had myself convinced that “yes, a nice break from our routine would be nice.” I quickly remembered that there is no break from the routine of a parent, especially not parent of babies in hospital. Haha. This wasn’t […]

  8. Bath time

    updates

    So today mami and daddy gave Sebastian (who was do) a bath today. Mami washed his face and head, of course the both bothersome part. He fussed! Daddy got to wash his body and he just loved it. He was such a good boy in his swaddle bath soaking in the warmth of the water! […]

  9. 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 […]
