4th of July

Ok, I know I'm a little late but thought I'd give everyone an update on how we are doing.

Tyler is home again and doing great. His surgery went very well and he is eating a full throttle again. Actually, he's eating better than he used to and he never really had a problem before. The issue also seems to have helped with some of the other smaller problems he had. He's not as uncomfortable as he used to be which is great. Since all of the food can now leave his stomach and not just sit there and make him uncomfortable he is so much happier. He is awake a lot now during the day and it's fun to see his beautiful blue eyes.

Tyler is still on his 1/8liter of oxygen but we don't have him on it all the time during the day. If he is happy and not having a fit he doesn't have it on. I try to give his little face a break from having those little stickers on it all the time. We really don't think he will need it much longer. He also continues to have his apnea monitor. It really is a stress reliever for us to be able to sleep at night and know that if he were to stop breathing it would alert us right away. And it's nice because it really doesn't go off that often and if it does it beeps once and then shuts off. Still, the piece of mind is nice for now.

Tyler had an eye appointment on Monday. The doctor said his eyes are just a little behind where he would like to see them now that we are approaching my due date but he doesn't see anything that causes him concern. We will go back one more time in two weeks just to make sure everything is progressing as it should be.

Dillan also continues to do well. She's eating close to 4oz every feeding now which is about double where she was when she came home. She's also sleeping longer too which is nice. She has now outgrown all of her preemie clothes and even some of her newborn stuff. She's getting bigger but still looks like a little peanut compared to her brother.

Dillan also had an eye appointment last week and her eyes are doing awesome. She doesn't have to go back for another year. YEAH!!

We had a wonderful 4th of July. We packed up both kids and headed down to the parade in Superior. It was a beautiful hot day and we parked under a tree. We didn't really watch much of the parade though because everyone wanted to see the little twins. I wasn't surprised. Auntie Jen, Uncle Andy, and cousin Bob were all there as well. Afterwards we stopped at our friend Rob and Mel's for awhile and invited them out for a BBQ. We had a house full of kids. Dillan & Tyler, Bob, Andrew, & Emily. It was a lot of fun.

I will update again soon. Thanks for all the continued support.

Love
Joscy, Corey, Dillan & Tyler
