Day 3 (Improvements All Around)!!

MUCH better day today...Michelle came home from the hospital, Dylan was taken off the respirator and is doing much better and Shane had breast milk for the first time. Also, I finally got to hold my little Shane, which was one of the best things I've ever experienced in my life. Quite a day, indeed. Here's some pics so you can all share in the joy.


First is me holding my oldest son, Shane. This makes me quite happy and still amazes me at how small he is:
Next is Dylan fresh off the respirator. Though he may not look it right now, you can trust me that he looks 100% better than he did at this time yesterday:



And, so he doesn't have a complex about being left out, here's a couple of Shane. The first is him being held by his mother. The bottom one is me rubbing his back while he receives treatment from the bili-lights to help with a touch of jaundice:


That's all - we;re going to enjoy our first night together as 4/6 of a family. See you soon.

OMG they are so beautiful!! They are just amazing! Corey seeing you with Shane in your arms just turned me into a puddle of tears!

Dylan really does look better and being on CPAP is a HUGE HUGE HUGE improvement over the ventilator! That's just incredible!!

We are all thinking of you and hoping that those two strong boys will show the NICU what they're made of and will be home before you know it!
