We are home!

It has been a long week, but we are very thankful that Jennie, Mason, and Greyson are all resting at home now.  Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Better day! Picture says it all!

This is the first time that both boys have been held together.  Mason had his chest tube, IV, feeding tube, and oxygen cannula removed today.  He is doing great!  If all goes well tonight, we may all go home tomorrow afternoon!  Praise God!
Jennie had a rough day/night. She had headaches, heart palpitations, dizziness, hot flashes, and felt like she would pass out a few times.  Her BP shot up to 178/102 and her heart was beating really fast (160 bpm). They called in a rapid response team and swarmed all around with EKG equipment. She is still feeling bad today, although not as bad as last night. She will be in the hospital at least another day. She does not feel like visitors right now, but she appreciates your prayers.  Hopefully she will get to go home tomorrow.

Mason is doing better.  The x-ray this morning showed that the air is almost out of his chest.  They took out the chest tube after clamping it for several hours.  This is an important step in his recovery.  He is also eating from a bottle now instead of a feeding tube.

Greyson's x-ray showed no pneumothorax today, so he is cleared to go home tomorrow if all goes well.
