Chay Is A Big Brother

While the twins were in the NICU, Chay was not allowed in to see his brothers. We spent time telling him of his brothers. And we showed him lots of pictures. After I put the car seats in the back seat, on either side of Chay's seat, Chay would occasionally point to one and say "Jace" or say "Jenner". So he was getting the idea of the fact that he had two brothers that would be joining him soon. But how much does a 2-year really comprehend with these sorts of things? We were worried about how Chay would react when reality hit home (literally and figuratively). In the past, Chay has thrown a fit when he has seen either of his parents holding another infant. Would he do the same when Jace & Jenner came home? Would he lash out or would he embrace his younger siblings? It turns out to be the latter. Chay has been great around Jace and Jenner. He seems to really enjoy have them around. We'll see if that attitude remains when they get bigger and try to play with one of Chay's prized toys!

Any Day Now

The doctors/nurses have not given us any information on when the twins will be coming home, but we are getting closer. They keep hinting it will be soon. We expect they will both be home by the weekend!

Jenner Update

I went to the NICU over lunch like I do most every day. Jace has been doing great as has been written in previous posts. We got better news on Jenner. He ate all of his bottles over the nighttime. Once the sun came up, he wasn't eating as much, but this is progress! And Jenner also passed his car seat test!

Twins Update Again

Here is the latest news. Jenner has started finishing a bottle once in a while. The more he eats the better. Jace passed his car seat test earlier today! Before they can come home, the infant has to sit in a car seat for 1.5 hours and they monitor their vital signs every 15 mins. Sometimes, infants will lose blood oxygen saturation when in a car seat. But not Jace. He passed with flying colors!!! One other thing, both boys are now above their birth weight.

Eat Up

Jace has been eating every thing he can. They have upgraded him to Recovery Care, which means he is one big step closer to coming home. Jenner is starting to eat more but he lags behind his brother.

Twins Update

I thought I would type up a quick update. Both Jace and Jenner are still in the NICU. Jace is doing great! He has no breathing assistance and he is keeping his body temperature up. He has been eating good too. Jace just needs to gain some weight. Jenner still has a little breathing assistance but he is getting much better in that department. Once Jenner can get the nasal cannula off, they will take him off the warming bed and try to feed him from a bottle. I think Jenner will have little difficulties making the transition. Both boys have a little jaundice so they are both receiving photo-therapy for a few days. Both boys continue to improve and we are getting more and more anxious to bring them home! Latana came home yesterday. She is still very sore but glad to be home.

Jenner needs some photo-therapy so he gets these awesome shades to provide relief from the light
