We've run the gamut of emotions over the past 48 hours. Nicholas and Nathan were slated to come home on Friday night, but after a few episodes of "Brady's" or Infantile Bradycardia. The doctors have convinced us that this is not out of the ordinary and they decided to send Nathan home on a heart and respiration monitor. Because of this we were required to spend a night in a parenting room with the boys last night in the hospital so we could get used to the monitor. It was a long night to say the least. Neither of the boys slept well and Nathan had one significant "Brady" during the night. The lack of sleep and the nerves from the night before caused us a lot of trepidation upon leaving the hospital. So far so good, Nathan has had a couple "Brady's" during his feedings, but we are getting the hang of catching them before they cause any real problem.
Drew has been really excited to have his little brothers home finally, but we can already see the signs of him yearning for attention. This has been a very difficult stretch for him with the time that Jaime spent in the hospital before the twins were born, and all the time we spent in the NICU over the past few weeks.I'll continue to update the blog as time warrants (hopefully a couple times a week). So please keep checking in. As I've said before, we all really appreciate all the well wishes and support all our family and friends have given.
