Transfusion Today

The Doctor's have finally decided to give Winter a transfusion today. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Mom is having a rough patch right now, any supportive calls to her would be welcome.

Simone's Homecoming, Winter Delayed

Last Friday was Simone's homecoming. Below is Hazel's first contact, she was so excited. Above is Simone's first bath at home.

Winter was SUPPOSED to come home yesterday but had an "episode" in the morning that required nurse intervention. Now they are saying Tuesday or Wednesday for a possible homecoming. He'll likely come home on an apnea monitor and we'll have nurses visiting periodically. Seems like overkill to me but better safe than sorry I guess.

siMONE is HOME!

Say goodbye to all your wonderful nurses!
Monitor is OFF!
Bye!

A longer stay at the four star hotel | Day 35

Winter's heart rate keeps dropping once or twice a day, which they call a "brady." Technically, he has to be brady-free for five days before he can come home. They are hoping its soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

Feeding both at the same time. A comedy of errors.

I breast fed them both at the same time on Thursday, their "35th week gestational birthday." After some juggling, the event was actually a success. Here are a couple shots taken after the chaos.

Not Today

Hi All, not today for Simone's homecoming, perhaps tomorrow.

Possible homecoming for our little girl | Day 30

I don't want to jinx it, but the staff at Pennsylvania Hospital are telling us that Simone may come home this Thursday or Friday! Mr. Winter is struggling with acid reflux which causes his heart rate too dip down. They have him on a special formula that we are hoping will help. Stay tuned on a possible homecoming date for him.

P.S. Happy one month birthday Winter & Simone!

Birthmarks

Winter has a “stork bite” on the back of his neck

Simone has a “strawberry” on the top of her head.

Now we will be able to tell them apart. Ha!

Twin Power | They hit 5 lbs!

The twins are growing quickly, both Simone & Winter cracked the 5 lb mark last night. Winter in the red corner, weighs in at 5 lbs. 2 oz and Simone in the blue corner, 5 lbs. Winter will likely get a blood transfusion today to replace some of the blood lost from constant tests. No worries, very routine. Fingers are crossed to have both come home on Thursday or Friday of this week!
