Update on the Boys

I know it has been a few days since we last updated the site.  We would like to thank you guys for the continued prayers that you have been offering on the boys' behalf.  Please continue to pray that they grow stronger so that when they grow up they will be able to serve the Lord.  Here is a quick update on the boys.

Jordan and Jaxon both are taking milk through their tubes.  They are doing a good job and have been moved up from two cc's every three hours to four every three hours for Jordan and five every three hours for Jaxon.  They are also both breathing on their own and off of the respirator.  Jaxon has moved into his isolete, or baby incubator.  He is taking well to his new home.  He looks so peaceful laying inside.  They move them to an isolete because it is darker and more peaceful.  Jordan previously had a stint in an isolete but had a little bit of an issue holding his temperature inside.  He should be moving back to an isolete sometime soon if he keeps putting on weight and progressing.

That's basically it for now.  The boys are eating and pooping.  These are all good signs.  They get their morning dose of caffeine, like most of you who stop by "Fourbucks" I mean Starbucks.  They are doing what they are expected to do at this stage in their lives.  We have more pictures and will post those in a photo album online this weekend.  Again, thanks for your prayers and continue to remember the boys.

Gives whole new meaning to the term "baby steps", doesn't it? I'm so thankful you have so much milk! That's EXACTLY what they need now! Chris had only one week of "breast bank milk" when he was a preemie 'cause mine never really came in...not enough to sustain him for sure.

Like Jennifer says, keep on pumping! Pump, pump, pump!

Yay for more pics - I'm looking forward to them! Of course if I end up seeing you guys tonight (I heard a rumor ;) ) I hope you'll have some with you then too!

Keep on keeping on!

Yay, yay! Keep on pumping, Crichelle! I hate those pumps, but it's worth it when they get big enough for you to feed. Besides, surely the milk that God gave you for them is better than anything man can make, right?

It all sounds like such wonderful news. Keep checking off those important preemie milestones. We are continuing to pray.

My 3 year old has asked if I would write a letter to Baby Jaxon and Baby "Jow-dan" from her. Her message is "when you get bigger, I want you to come to my house." She asks to watch their video every day, and she prays for them, too.

Yay for Mommy's milk! Keep "drinking" that good stuff, little boys.

Jyusef! Your boys are amazing. You and Crichelle and Jordon and Jaxon are in our prayers. It looks like they are doing so well. What blessings from God.

BTW, I love your Fourbucks dig:)
