Sunday's visit

We had a very good visit with the boys yesterday. They are looking bigger already. Gideon finally hit the 2lb mark!!! Both boys have not had to be under the phototherapy light in a while, but I just talked to the nurses today and Gideon had to get back under his. Gideon is doing so much better on his oxygen. He is eating very well (15cc's every 3 hours). Yesterday they even had a pacifier in his bed with him. It looked as big as his head, but he was able to suck on the tip of it. The nurse said he was rooting around and that seemed to calm him. Still haven't gotten to touch him, but hopefully won't be much longer. Josiah was stirred up yesterday. His nurse told us he gets very upset when he has a wet diaper and wants it changed immediately! Boy, oh boy, he is in for a rude awakening when he comes home to the Stanley house! We believe in getting our money's worth out of those diapers!! Josiah was being a little toot yesterday. Before I left he got VERY upset and was pitching a fit---he would have been screaming, and he was waving his arms and kicking his feet. All of this made his oxygen level drop so the nurse had to adjust his levels. He was not a happy camper. I did get to touch Josiah yesterday. The nurse let me put my arms in his bed and hold his head in my hand and rest my other hand on his chest. Yes, his little head fit in the palm of my hand. He really enjoyed that and it calmed him down for the moment. Hopefully he will get to start eating again in a couple of days. Please pray for us as the kids go back to school Wednesday that we will figure out some sort of routine for visiting the boys and managing things here as well.
