Merry Christmas Eve

by Slack, on December 25th, 2003

Today was a good day for the twins. Leilani, however, did have a bad morning. Her blood count was low, but a transfusion fixed that all up. She did fine for the rest of the day. She even went to the bathroom on her own! ;) After talking with some of the docs, it was clarified that the “hole” in her heart is actualy a vessel that all babies have. It is something that usually closes up on it’s own. In premies it sometimes needs to be aided. Leilani is still having issues with this. The hole in her lung has not healed, but the bubbling seems even slower today.

Rhys had a good day all around. Tolerating his cares just fine, and was fed today. So hopefully we will start seeing some weight gain. So far it has been only weight loss, which while normal is still not so fun to hear about. The best part of all was when Rhys opened his eyes! I don’t think I can explain what it is like to look into your son or daughter’s eyes. Nothing like it. Nothing compares.

In other news, I made some sinagang to cheer me up! Yay! Nothing better than sinagang! Also, super dog decided to run full speed into the house after being outside. She did this before I had a chance to open the screen door… Stoopid dog
