Cuddle time

Donny and I both got to hold BOTH boys today.  It was our first time holding Luke, and it just made my day.  I was also able to nurse Caleb, although he really didn't do much, it was still an opportunity to get him used to it.  We really got to hold them each for quite a while.

They both still seem to be improving, however Caleb had a few breathing "episodes" today.  It is just a lot for preemies to eat, maintain body temperature and breathe.  These episodes reset the clock, so to speak, for Caleb, meaning he has to go a week from today without any before they would consider sending him home.  Luke is still on the nasal cannula, so the one week rule hasn't even started for him yet.

So, it looks like it's still going to be a little while.  Please continue to pray for our sweet boys and for us.  Pray also that God would give us wisdom in how to organize our family life.  It is a challenge to schedule time with the boys and yet to not neglect our 3 kiddos here at home.  Also, we are realty hoping and praying that when the time comes for the boys to come home, it can happen on the same day.  It would be really hard logistically to visit one in the hospital with one at home.

Again we thank you for all of your encouragement and prayer.
