Welcome to Tyler and Parker Thompson's Blog

Tyler and Parker Thompson arrived on June 23, 2008 at only 26 weeks and 4 days old, weighing 1 pound 6 ounces (Parker) and 1 pound 10 ounces (Tyler). Parker spent 129 days (home 10/30/08) in the NICU, while brother Tyler spent 143 (home 11/13/08). We are thrilled to have our family complete with both boys home!

This blog was created by John (the daddy) to inform family and friends (and now new acquaintances) of the twins progression. Below is the blog archive dating back to the week Heather (the mommy) was admitted to the hospital. We try to post weekly updates, but on occasion the week gets the best of us.

John and Heather,

I know our family medical situations our different but I do know what you are going through right now. The blogging is a great way to keep everyone informed but also good for you to reflect on what is going on and how you are feeling. Guy actually used a site called Caring Bridge to blog his updates.

Just take one day at a time and know that many people are sending their positive energy your way. I look forward to reading all about the life and times of Tyler and Parker.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. I know how draining it is to go back and forth to UC Davis. No request is to big or small.

Just catching up on your blog. Praying for you guys. They are so small but they already look like they are improving and our family is lifting you up in prayer everyday!
When are you guys up for visitors? We would love to come see you and your little sweet boys! Understandably, when you are ready OK. :)
Love to you all,
Nancy and the Gugino Family

The light of God surrounds us.
The love of God enfolds us.
The power of God protects us.
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are God is and all is well.

John,

I haven't had the chance to congratulate you and Heather for a job well done! I am thinking good thoughts and wishing everyone all the best.

Love the Pooh Tigger connection! You know of course that could easily determine their nicknames for the rest of their lives...

For an update into my world, you can check out Roger's Compendium of Confusion. Hope to see you and your whole family soon!
