GETTING STRONGER EVERYDAY!!

THE BOYS AR DOING GREAT. EACH DAY THEY CONTINUE TO GET STONGER AND STRONGER. THEY STARTED FEEDING AUSTIN TODAY AND HE HAS BEEN DOING GOOD SO FAR. SO WE PRAY HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO GOOD AND GAIN SOME WEIGHT. HE IS 3LBS 3OZS NOW, SO HE IS HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE LIVER TEST CAME BACK TODAY AND THE DOCTOR SAID HE WILL CONTINUE GIVING HIM THE MEDICINE AND WATCH IT. HOPEFULLY THE FOOD WILL GET EVERYTHING WORKING WITH HIM.
AIDEN IS DOING GREAT! HE IS BACK TO HIS NORMAL SELF AGAIN. HE LOVES HIS FOOD! HE IS 4LBS AND 9 OZS NOW. HIS FIRST LAB FROM THE SPINAL TAP CAME BACK NEGATIVE TODAY. THANK YOU JESUS!! THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH IT FOR TWO MORE DAYS. SO WE PRAY IT WILL STAY NEGATIVE. THEY BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN INFECTION FROM ALL THE IV'S AND STICKINGS HE HAS BEEN GETTING.
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE DOING GOOD. AS LONG AS OUR BOYS ARE DOING GOOD WE ARE DOING GOOD. DADDY SAY'S, HE BELIEVES THIS WHOLE EXPEREINCE IS GOING TO MAKE US STRONGER, OUR BOYS STRONGER, OUR MARRIAGE STRONGER, AND OUR FAMILY STRONGER. I BELIEVE THAT TOO!! I KNOW GOD HAS A PLAN FOR US ALL AND ESPECIALLY THESE TWO LITTLE ANGELS HE HAS BLESSED US WITH.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, PRAYERS, AND TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT OUR FAMILY. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY FROM WENDY AND KEN @93.7 WDJC TELLING US ABOUT SOMEONE WHO CALLED IN A PRAYER REQUEST FOR OUR FAMILY. IT WAS SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW US PERSONALLY. THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO US, TO KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE OUT THERE PRAYING FOR US AND TELLING EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT US AND THEY ARE PRAYING FOR US TOO!! WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU ALL AND YOUR PRAYERS!! GOD IS LISTENING AND ANSWERING THEM! WE LOVE YOU ALL!
R.J., JENN, AIDEN, AND AUSTIN

DADDY AND HIS BOYS!!

AIDEN SAID,"MOMMY PLEASE GET THIS HAT OFF MY HEAD!"

LITTLE AUSTIN GETTING HIS BATH FOR THE NIGHT!!

HOPING AND PRAYING!!

THE BOYS ARE DOING GOOD!! WE FINALLY GOT TO HOLD AUSTIN FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT. THAT WAS A WONDERFUL FEELING. I NEVER NEW I COULD LOVE TWO LITTLE BABIES THE SAME OR AS MUCH AS I DO. IT IS A FEELING ONLY A MOMMY CAN EXPLAIN.
AUSTIN IS OFF OF HIS CPAP. THANK GOODNESS!! THOSE PRONGS WERE MAKING HIS POOR LITTLE NOSE AND EYES SWELL. HE HAS BEEN DOING GOOD WITHOUT IT. SO WE PRAY HE DOES NOT HAVE TO GO BACK ON IT!! HE IS STILL NOT EATING YET. MABEY NOT TOO MUCH LONGER. TOMMORROW THEY WILL DRAW THE BLOOD FOR HIS LIVER TEST TO SEE IF THE MEDICINE IS WORKING. SO WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT IT IS.
AIDEN IS DOING BETTER. HIS LAST BLOOD CULTURE TEST DID COME BACK POSTIVE TODAY. THEY BELIEVE HE JUST HAD A LITTLE INFECTION AND THAT IS WHY HE DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. THEY DID HAVE TO DO A SPINAL TAP ON HIM TODAY JUST TO BE SURE HE DOES NOT HAVE MENENGITIS. SO WE HOPE AND PRAY HE DOES NOT. HE DID GET TO START BACK EATING TODAY AND HAS BEEN DOING GOOD. SO HOPEFULLY HE JUST HAD A LITTLE BUG AND THE ANTIBIOTICS HAVE CLEARED IT UP!!
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE DOING OKAY!! WE DID LOOSE POWER LAST NIGHT AT OUR LOVELY HOTEL. SO WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO TO THE HOUSE AND SLEEP FOR THE NIGHT. MOMMY ALMOST MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY BEFORE SHE BROKE DOWN. SO SWEET LITTLE DADDY JUST TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND WE WENT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL!! THE POWER DID COME ON AT ABOUT 2:30 A.M. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT MOMMY CAN LEAVE HERE SOON. THANK YOU ALL FOR REMEBERING US AND PRYAING FOR US THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. I KNOW GOD IS LISTENING AND ANSWERING. THE BOYS HAVE COME A LONG WAY AND ARE LITTLE MIRACLES. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

DADDY AND AIDEN!!

DADDY GOT TO GIVE AIDEN HIS BOTTLE!!

MOMMY AND DADDY FINALLY GOT TO HOLD AUSTIN!!

IT FELT SO GOOD TO FINALLY HOLD OUR LITTLE AUSTIN. I CANNOT WAIT TO HOLD THEM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. IT JUST FELT GOOD TO HOLD HIM AND LOOK ACROSS THE ROOM AND SEE DADDY HOLDING AIDEN. GOD IS ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS!!

AUSTIN DOING SO GOOD WITHOUT HIS CPAP!!

ANOTHER WEEK DOWN!!

THEY BOYS ARE NOW TWO WEEKS AND ONE DAY OLD! YEAH ANOTHER WEEK DOWN BUT,PLENTY MORE TO COME. THE BOYS ARE GETTING STRONGER EVERYDAY THEY ARE BOTH LITTLE FIGHTERS. THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING AIDEN SOME CAFFIENE AND ANTIBIOTICS SO HE IS STARTING TO FEEL BETTER. HE HAS NOT BEEN HAVING AS MANY BREATHING EPISODES. I THINK HE JUST GOT TIRED. SO HOPEFULLY HE CAN START EATING AGAIN SOON. HE WAS UP TO 4LBS 8 OZS YESTURDAY. LITTLE AUSTIN IS CATCHING HIM THOUGH, HE IS 3LBS 0.5 OZS NOW!!! HE SAID HE WAS TIRED OF LAGGING BEHIND. HE HAS BEEN DOING VERY GOOD ON HIS CPAP. SO HOPEFULLY HE WILL NOT BE ON IT TOO MUCH LONGER. THEY TOOK THE LINE OUT OF HIS BELLY AND ARE WATCHING HIS LITTLE BELLY TO SEE WHEN HE CAN START EATING. SO WE PRAY THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO SOON. THEY WILL DO ANOTHER LIVER FUNCTION TEST ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THE MEDCINE THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING AUSTIN IS WORKING. SO WE PRAY THAT IT IS WORKING.
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE DOING OKAY. THE DOCTOR TOLD MOMMY SHE WAS PRETTY MUCH CRAZY YESTURDAY AND NEEDED TO TALK TO HER DOCTOR ABOUT GETTING BACK ON SOME MEDICATION. SHE WANTS ME TO START GOING HOME AND GETTING INTO MY NORMAL ROUTINE. SHE IS CRAZY, NOT ME!! I AM JUST A MOMMY WORRIED ABOUT MY BABIES. THIS IS MY ROUTINE NOW. NO IT IS NOT NORMAL, BUT IT WANT BE UNTIL I GET MY BABIES HOME!! SO PLEASE PRAY THAT MOMMY CAN START GOING HOME SOME. I KNOW IT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR ME TO SIT UP HERE ALL DAY EVERYDAY, BUT IT IS SO HARD TO LEAVE HERE WITHOUT THEM. I FEEEL LIKE I AM GIVING UP ON THEM, BUT I KNOW THAT I AM NOT. I JUST WANT MY FAMILY HOME TOGETHER!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS AND PRAYERS. WE LOVE YOU ALL!
JENN, R.J., AIDEN, AND AUSTIN

THIS IS AIDEN'S NEW CONDO!!

HE GETS TO ESCAPE EVERY NOW AND THEN. HE LIKES IT WHEN HIS MOMMY AND DADDY GETS HIM OUT OF THERE!!

"LITTLE R.J."

WE THINK AIDEN IS GOING TO BE HIS DADDY AND, AUSTIN IS GOING TO BE HIS MOMMY!!

AUSTIN SAID, "MOMMY PLEASE DON'T GO!"

POOR LITTLE AUSTIN! THEY HAVE TO PIN HIM DOWN.

HE HATES THOSE PRONGS UP HIS NOSE. HE IS A FISTY LITTLE THING SO THEY HAVE TO PIN HIM DOWN TO KEEP HIS CPAP ON.

UP AND DOWN!!

JUST WHEN YOU THINK EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. AIDEN WAS DOING SO GOOD WITH HIS FEEDINGS THAT HE GOT HIS FIRST BOTTLE TODAY. WE WERE SO EXCITED, BECAUSE THAT MEANT ONE STEP CLOSER TO GOING HOME. INSTEAD AIDEN HAS DECIDED NOT TO BREATHE WHEN HE EATS AND THEY HAVE TO GIVE HIM OXYGEN A LOT. SO THEY HAVE NOW STOPPED HIS FEEDINGS AND STARTED HIM ON ANTIBIOTICS. THEY DID BLOOD TEST TO MAKE SURE HE IS NOT GETTING SICK. WE PRAY THAT HE IS NOT GETTING SICK AND HE IS JUST BEING A PREEMIE. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN START HIM BACK FEEDING SOON!
AUSTIN IS STILL DOING GOOD WITH HIS CPAP. HE HAS JUST BEEN RESTING AND BUILDING HIS STRENGTH UP. WE PRAY THAT HE CONTINUES TO DO GOOD, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PUT HIS TUBE BACK IN. WE ARE STILL WAITINE ON ALL OF HIS TEST TO COME BACK SO WE HOPE AND PRAY THEY WILL ALL BE OKAY!!
MOMMY AND DADDY JUST NEED A LOT OF PATIENCE. IT IS UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN. YOU ARE SO EXCITED THAT BOTH OF THEM ARE DOING WELL AND THEN ONE OF THEM BACK TRACKS. IT IS OKAY THOUGH, I KNOW THEY ARE BOTH STRONG LITTLE BOYS AND HAVE ALREADY COME SO FAR IN JUST 2 WEEKS. GOD IS STILL TAKING CARE OF THEM AND I KNOW HE IS IN CONTROL. IT IS JUST GOiNG TO TAKE TIME. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE US PATIENCE PATIENCE, AND PATIENCE. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS! WE LOVE YOU!

HE DOES NOT LIKE THOSE PRONGS UP HIS NOSE!!! HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE OUT SOON!

AIDEN SAID HIS TUMMY WAS FULL!! HE WAS GOING TO BED!!

AIDEN AND HIS FIRST BOTTLE!

HE WAS DOING SO GOOD!!

IT'S ONLY DAY 12, BUT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER!!

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS NEVER GOING TO END. WE ARE ON DAY 12, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER TO US. THE BOYS ARE DOING GOOD, BUT WE ARE STILL LEARNING PATIENCE. WE JUST WANT THEM BOTH BETTER NOW AND IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
AUSTIN DECIDED THIS MORNING HE DID NOT WANT THAT TUBE IN HIS MOUTH ANYMORE. HE PULLED IT OUT HIMSELF BEFORE THEY COULD TAKE IT OUT. THEY PUT HIM BACK ON HIS CPAP. HE HAS BEEN DOING GOOD SO FAR, SO WE PRAY HE KEEPS IT UP. MOMMY AND DADDY DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT SWEET LITTLE BOY SUFFER. WE ARE STILL WAITING ON SOME OF HIS TESTS AND PROBALY WILL BE FOR AWHILE. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE US PATIENCE. IT IS SO HARD NOT KNOWING THE ANSWERS.
AIDEN IS DOING GOOD. HE HIS STILL EATING WELL, HE JUST DECIDES SOMETIMES HE DOESN'T WANT TO BREATHE. THEY HAVE TO GIVE HIM OXYGEN AND THEN HE IS OKAY. IT MAYBE REFLUX OR IT COULD JUST BE HE IS STILL TOO LITTLE. SO WE PRAY HE WILL OUT GROW THIS.
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE DOING OKAY. WE ARE JUST READY FOR THE BOYS TO BE HOME WITH US. IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOREVER. IT IS SO HARD SEEING ONE OF THEM DOING WELL AND THE OTHER LAGGING BEHIND. WE JUST WANT AUSTIN TO BE OKAY AND CATCH UP WITH AIDEN. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE US THE STRENGTH AND PATIENCE TO GET THROUGH THIS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS.

THANK YOU JESUS! PRAISE THE LORD!!

AIDEN IS NOW EATING!! HOPEFULLY NOW HE WILL CONTINUE TO EAT WELL AND GAIN SOME WEIGHT. POOR LITTLE BABY WAS STARVING. HE IS 4LBS 1OZ RIGHT NOW. THE GASTRO DOCTOR CAME BY THIS MORNING TO SEE AUSTIN. THE ULTRASOUND OF HIS LIVER AND GALLBLADDER LOOKED GOOD. SO THEY STARTED HIM ON HIS MEDICINE TO TRY TO GET THAT BILE TO MOVE THROUGH. HIS BILI WAS DOWN SO THAT WAS A GOOD SIGN. WE PRAY THAT HIS LITTLE SYSTEMS ARE STARTING TO WAKE UP AND WORK. WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALL THE TESTS BACK SO WE PRAY THEY WILL ALL BE NORMAL!! HE IS STILL ON THE VENTILATOR, BUT HE IS BREATHING BETTER. HE JUST NEEDED A LITTLE REST. HE IS STILL SO SMALL, 2LBS 13OZS. SO WE PRAY THAT HE WILL GET BETTER AND START CATCHING UP WITH BIG BROTHER. SO WE CAN ALL GO HOME!
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE DONG A LOT BETTER! GOD IS TEACHING US PATIENCE! IT IS HARD BUT WE ARE LEARNING! MOMMY HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE BOYS. THEY WERE BOTH WITH THERE MOMMY !

AIDEN STRIKING A POSE FOR MOMMY!!

AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER

LAST NIGHT WAS A GOOD NIGHT! AIDEN AND AUSTIN GOT TO MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME! WE FINALLY HAD OUR FIRST REAL FAMILY PHOTO AND THAT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING. AIDEN GOT MOVED TO A ISOLETTE, WHICH IS AN UPGRADE FOR HIM. HIS BODY DID REJECT THE FEEDING, BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL FOR PREEMIES. SO WE PRAY THAT HE WILL START EATING SOON! THEY STILL HAVE NOT STARTED AUSTIN'S MEDICINE. THEY ARE DOING TESTS AND ANOTHER ULTRASOUND TO CHECK HIS LIVER AND GALLBLADDER THE GASTRO DOCTOR SHOULD BE BACK ON MONDAY. SO WE PRAY THAT ALL OF THE TEST COME BACK NORMAL AND GOD GIVES MOMMY AND DADDY SOME PEACE.
TODAY WAS NOT SUCH A GOOD DAY. AUSTIN SCARED MOMMY AND DADDY TO DEATH. HE WAS NOT BREATHING GOOD WHEN WE GOT OVER THERE. THEY HAD TO RETUBE HIM AND PUT HIM BACK ON HIS VENTALATOR. IT WAS SO SCARY AND HARD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH HIM STRUGGLE AND KNOW THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO TO MAKE HIM BETTER. WE JUST WANTED TO PICK HIM UP AND MAKE HIM BETTER. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT HE WILL GET BETTER SOON. IT BREAKS OUR HEARTS TO SEE HIM THIS WAY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE US PATIENCE AND STRENGTH TO GET TO THE END OF THIS EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENCOURAGING WORDS. WE READ THE COMMENTS EVERYDAY AND IT LIFTS US UP TO KNOW YOU ALL ARE PRAYING FOR OUR FAMILY. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

GOD IS GOOD!!

IT HAS BEEN A LONG BUT WONDERFUL DAY!! I BELIEVE GOD IS ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS!! THE GASTRO DOCTOR SAID HE THINKS BUT CANNOT SAY FOR SURE THAT AUSTIN'S BILE IS TOO THICK AND IS CAUSING A LITTLE SLUGG. HIS LIVER JUST HASN'T WOKEN UP. THEY WILL GIVE HIM SOME MEDICINE THAT SHOULD HELP THIN IT OUT. THEY WILL BE DOING MORE TEST TO RULE OUT OTHER THINGS THAT COULD BE WRONG. SO WE PRAY THAT THE MEDICINE WORKS. THEY TOOK ALL THE TUBES OUT OF AIDEN'S BELLY TODAY SO MOMMY AND DADDY GOT TO HOLD HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME. I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO HOLD THAT PRECIOUS BABY AND SEE THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES STARING UP AT ME. IF THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU HOPE AND FAITH I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WILL. I CAN NOT WAIT TO HOLD MY OTHER PRECIOUS BABY. WE JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND STRONG FOR HIM. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE US THE PATIENCE AND STRENGTH WE NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS.

THE GASTROINTEROLIGISTS IS SUPPOSE TO COME SEE HIM TODAY, SO PLEASE PRAY THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY AND WAIT. AIDEN IS DOINIG GREAT. HE IS JUST READY TO EAT.
