S&S Update

Quick update. I'll try and post a few pics from last night later today.

They were three weeks old yesterday. CRAZY!

Silas is doing great. He will probably come home this weekend. He is now 4lbs 3oz! He is catching up to Stewart b/c they are still adding calories to his milk. UPDATE: Silas may come home on Sunday!

Stewart is doing ok. He is taking the bottle more often but still has been tube fed at least once in a 24 hour period. Last night he had a choking incident while taking the bottle which caused him to get a "fair" grade on the feeding. He must get all "well" grades on eating in order to come home. Please pray for sweet Stewart. He is trying so hard. While he was the bigger one, he was not ready to enter this big world. He was sitting pretty and thinking he had several weeks before making his grand entrance.

UPDATE: We met with the dr. this morning and feel much better about Stewart. The "choking" incident was really a "feeding incident" that happened last night when we were feeding him. The dr. thinks he was tired from taking mostly bottles. Anyway...he has to first be 100% bottles and then they want him to feed with no "incidents" for several days. He may be home by Wednesday of next week.

We are little frustrated and confessing our selfishness in wanting them both home. The trips to the NICU at 7:30 p.m. is really pushing both Jeff and I to our limits. We are tired. We are praying for strength and for clarity and peace. God has blessed us with two healthy boys and we want to be thankful every day.

Anna Rose is doing great. She is very busy and into EVERYTHING. Pray for mommy and daddy and their patience in correcting her.

blessings for TODAY.
