My life goings on-baby steps
Everything is going ok. My girls have been hellions the whole time I have been in the hospital as well as while we have been staying in the Ronald McDonald House. I think they just need to get back on schedule but who knows when that will happen. My brother (and foster child) has made it his job to make sure I am stressed to the max. He started with skipping school and getting suspended but has most recently broken his leg and torn his ligaments. My husband has been my strength. If it weren't for him I would have lost my mind...If I haven't already. The one thing I have been truly happy about is how well my little Superman has been doing. They daily increase how much milk he is fed. He was moved to a bed with no humidity 4 days earlier than normal premies. He is on 23% oxygen and has had no issues with breathing. I am now allowed to hold him once per shift! The 2 things we are still working on are the valve in his heart closing (the echo was not positive it was closed so he has to have another) and him gaining weight (he has been fluctuating but has not got below 1lb 11oz.) For him being only 10 days old and the doctors saying he had only a 10% chance to live before I had him I think he is doing pretty friggin amazing! I love that little guy.

Wow, I am in awe of you. A lot of people would literally have lost their mind, you seem to be keeping it together. You are obviously a very strong woman and your family is so lucky to have you. I hope all is going well, I will be praying for you and your family, take care.
