Right after


Caleb was intubated but was determined he didn't like the tube down his throat and pulled it out. He also continued to pull his oxygen off so the doctor decided he could do without he was then on to tanning and trying to make up for weight loss before he could go home.

Sawyer had a bit of a rough go of it. He was a little more smashed and swollen, poor little guy. He had to have the C-pap and didn't get to eat after the first day because he never passed the meconium plug. His poor belly became distended and they had to do a lower G I scope to rule out any blockage. He passed the meconium plug eventually and the doctors never found a lower blockage so we were then left to believe he might have an upper blockage, this news followed with the neonatal specialists telling me that the boys most likely had CF Cystic Firbrosis and the story goes on from there. We eventually ruled out that neither of them had cystic fibrosis at 3 months when we could do the chloride sweat test. The boys are both very healthy despite the need for many doctors appointments they will be as normal as can be. We are so grateful to have them here safe healthy and sound.
