Heather's coming home tomorrow!!! Her blood pressure still remains somwhat high, but the docs are comfortable that it is under controll and the best place for her is in her own bed:) She continues to keep up on her pain meds and is handling the recovery like the champ that she is. Today she used the wheel chair as a walker and walked up to NICU to see the boys. It took a little bit out of her, but she did it again this evening. That's my girl:):)
The boys: Tyler and Parker both continue to develop in a very similiar way. Both have had much better success with their respiration today. Both have had a decreased urine output which has caused both to suspend the last round of meds for their heart. A scan tomorrow will tell us if the problem was solved with the two doses they got, or will they re-administer later. Both boys had a very restful and somewhat uneventful day. They were very calm an restful, which is what we like to hear. I say somewhat uneventful though cuz 'Tyler had an fun event. This is what I love about the NICU here......they are so good and open with us......they didn't have to share this but the nurse did.........while she was woking on Tyler his whole bed just shut off. All warmers etx. just stopped. The bed basically broke!! She took about 10 seconds to check power cords, then immediately called for help and had him changed into a new bed in 45 seconds. Because of the tinfoil and plastic wrap, he never lost temperature and all is well.........I think it was just tyler showing off......he probably kicked something lose so he could get a new room!!!!
Thanks again for all prayers, well wishes, replies to the blog, e-mails and continued general oveall support. Even though we haven't spoken or seen anyone your support is felt and really is helping us deal with an impossible situation.

John & Heather,
Our continued prayers are with your family daily. Thank you for the updates. God is a great big God who has those little miracles in his arms!
You are two beautiful amazing people with two beautiful amazing boys!
Love always,
Lorie & Chris Osborne (burdinee)!
Hi John - That's great that Heather is able to come home. Michelle had the same condition and I recall that a few days after she came home her high blood pressure symptoms suddently disappeared overnight. As far as Parker & Tyler, we are praying that God will cause them to grow strong & healthy. They have already impacted us -- we feel like we are right there with you guys. Oh, and they are adorable, too (or should I say "two")! John Castleberry
John and Heather,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. As you may remember, my first son was born at 24 weeks. I agree about NICU and how wonderful they are there. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you and yours at this time.
Take care, Elena DalFavero
