Young

Yesterday brought news from the neonatologist (? is that how you spell that? You know they are smart if you can't even spell what they do!), it seems that the twins are one week younger, gestationally, than originally thought. That means they were born at 34 weeks rather than 35 weeks. This was, in a way, good news for 24 and her husband. The babies are doing well for 34 weeks old. They have set their expectations on this age and expect to see them begin eating more from the bottle and have less supplemental formula from the feeding tube in the next week.

Just a thought: Each time we visit the babies we must scrub our hands to our elbows for a timed three minutes. We disinfect ourselves from the outside world and care for the twins with clean hands. Oh, if only we kept that picture for every day of our parenting lives. Metaphorically, everyday let's scrub ourselves clean before we start our parenting chores. Wash up, gas up, get ready for the day in the Word. That would "rock" this world and really give our kids what they need.

More news will follow as I get it. Thanks for keeping up with us. Your love, concern, and prayers are a necessary part of our existence. I thank God for you each time I think of you.
