Today
Today was another great day! Jaxon is off the dopamine and his blood pressure is holding. Tomorrow they will do another echo cardiogram on him and hopefully his blood will be flowing left to right. His nurse today said that he's had another fantastic day. Keep praying that he will be able to have his surgery soon(hopefully tomorrow)!
Now on to Jordan.....lots of big things happened with him today. First of all he had his first stool! The nurse practitioner was so shocked and impressed because this usually doesn't happen until they start on breast milk. Apparently he was a little pooping machine today. He also got his last line that was running in his belly button removed today(normally they wait until day of life 10). He will probably be off the respirator tomorrow or the next day which means....I GET TO HOLD HIM!!!!! Needless to say I hope it's tomorrow. Jordan also is trying to open his eyes. He can get the right one half way open and he's working hard on the left side. I was actually in the NICU this morning when it first started happening. I, of course, started to cried!
I am so amazed at how well my little fighters are doing. In moments like these it's so evident that GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! He is truly the Great Physician! The power of prayer is a wonderful thing!

Crichelle -
We've been following the saga from up here and are so happy to hear all this good news. It's always fun when you can get excited about poo - welcome to parenthood. Your boys are doing great, we will continue to keep you in our prayers.

AWESOME!! You made me cry!! I am so happy to hear about that. i will try to call you tonight. Love you. Jana
Come on Jaxon, lets get that blood flowing the right direction! You can do it little guy!
Yay Jordan, way to poop! And a big "awwww" that his first sight was his momma! Even if you were blurry to him. ;-) I can't wait to see pics of you holding him!
Speaking of pics, is it possible to request more? Pretty puh-leeeze? I could look at them all day! (and I know I'm not the only one!)
Love you guys!
Ah, the first poo! "Tarry, tarry night..." let's all sing it! :)
It's so great when you FINALLY grt to hold them. I'm thinking Chris was 3 or 4 days old before we could hold him - longest days of my LIFE! I hope you get your kiss and cuddles very soon now.
Happy, happy day! Oh, Crichelle, I can't wait until you post that you have held him. Such an amazing moment!
Looking forward to seeing pics of you holding your boys!
Whitten wanted you to know that he really likes the babies and Titus had no comment. They thought that the video was cool! They are anxious to see them in person. But Whitten would like to know when he can see their parents!
Love Brandy
