I'm Free

Well today is the day that I am free of bed rest and this place. I have done my 4 weeks of bed rest time and I get to go to Bountiful today. It is somewhat bittersweet, because I have to leave my 3 little boys behind. It is hard when you don't get to take them home with you. I will be back daily to spend time with them. I am very anxious to be out of this place though, so it will feel good. I will hopefully be able to rest and get recovered so I am ready to conquer the task of all the daily rituals with my 3 little guys when they come home.

I will give you a baby update. Aiden is doing pretty good. They took him off of the CPAP machine this morning and he is breathing pretty much on his own with the assistance of a Canuale. He is almost done with his round of antibiotics for his heart murmur. Then they will do another ultrasound of his heart to see if it is gone. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it worked.

Brock is doing ok. They did an ultrasound on his stomach this morning. They said it is working to hard on the feedings and they were wondering if he may have a hole in his stomach. The ultrasound came back good this morning, so they will hold off on any more feedings all day. Tonight they will do another ultrasound of his stomach. If it still looks good, and there is no hole, they will continue to do small feedings and really watch it. Hopefully there is no hole, if there is, it requires surgery. So we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Collin is doing good. He is also off of the CPAP machine and on a Canuale. He is doing pretty good breathing on his own and is having no big problems. So we will keep it that way and hope that they all continue on the up and up on a daily basis.

Yesterday was meeting day for the girls. They finally got the chance to go in and see their brothers. They are only allowed in twice a week, 15 minutes each time. I had told them what to expect so they wouldn't be scared when they saw them. They were so excited and cute. They kept saying how little they were and they loved it. They were most excited to see Collin, because they both think Collin is their favorite. I am sure they will change their minds. I will try and keep you posted on any new developments and I will try and add some more pictures tomorrow.

Brook! My heart just goes out to you! You'll do amazing with three, but I'm sure it must be hard to watch and wait as they continue to grow. They are all so sweet and small - I really can't imagine. Good luck with everything, we are thinking and praying for you guys.
