Texas Children's Hospital

After a long day, Jordan and Jaxon are now settled in at Texas Children's Hospital. Friday was one that was very long for the boys. They went on their first trip and got new beds and all the things that go with transferring to a different school. Imagine going to a different college and getting all the paperwork together, buying new books, getting a new room, well the boys did that at day twenty four. Most people don't do that until they get to be close to year twenty four, but we all know that our boys like to do things early.

Yesterday was one full of emotions. Here are just a few of them:

• We learned of the move and thought the boys would be separated.
• We experienced a ton of joy when we found out they would be together.
• We saw them trying to get acclimated to a new environment.
• We had to get acclimated to a new environment.
• We met a lot of new caregivers that will be taking care of our boys.

Needless to say, Crichelle and I were very tired this morning. If we were tired, I am sure the boys were exhausted. Just an update on their weight, Jaxon is now 2 lbs. and 4 ozs. and Jordan is 1 lb. and 13 ozs. They have really been doing quite well. Jaxon had his permanent IV removed at about 2 PM today. He is now purely on his mom's milk and finished with the nutrients that were being fed through his IV. Jordan has a little more growing, but he should be getting close to finishing with his permanent IV as well.

All and all, Crichelle and I both believe that this is a good move for the boys. We like the hospital a lot, that's not to say that we had any problems at Texas Woman's Hospital. They are both fine institutions with great people working there. We are excited about the care our boys will receive while they are here.

Please check back later on today. I plan on updating the boys' photo albums so that you guys can see more pictures. Thanks again for all of your prayers. Please continue to remember the boys.
