"Family" redefined

I got to visit Megan today and she says thank you to everybody who have been following the boys' progress. "I am overwhelmed and blessed by the prayer support," she said and her mother said we have redefined their understanding of "family."

As of this afternoon the boys were doing fine. Jack still has extra oxygen but he is breathing it in on his own. When Megan visited, Jack was unhappy to be resting on his tummy but when she put her hand gently on his back he immediately quieted and would drift off to sleep as long as she was touching him. Tyler seems determined to wriggle out of his diaper at every possible opportunity. Megan says its incredible how distinct their personalities are despite their size.

Please continue to pray for the boys to thrive and to take and process nourishment well. Would you also pray that the paperwork necessary to get the boys on state insurance and children's aid would go through quickly and easily? That way what their primary insurance doesn't cover, the other two types will.

There are many people who are working around the clock to care for the boys. If you would like to send them a general thank you and encouragement the address is NICU, Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, P.O. Box 1888, Bakersfield, CA 93301-1888. These are valiant doctors and nurses working under emotional conditions to nurture life and its always nice to know your efforts are appreciated.

More later,
