  1. Transfusion number two

    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 […]

  2. Dr. Graven’s quote

    Lucas came off the high flow! He needs to focus on taking some slow deep breaths. Daddy also changed his 1st diaper tonight. Sebastian peed all over him. Haha! That’ll be the 1st of many. The boys seem to be doing so well. The doctors and nurses are very proud of their hard work. The […]

  8. They’re here

    At 12:54 and 12:56 today we welcomed Sebastian and Lucas into the Lowe family. Sebastian, formerly known as Baby A, is not having an easy time with things. At birth he weighed 3 pounds. He has had too much blood, his liver is large, his heart is weak and he is quite dark and red. These are […]
