Here is the latest on the boys:

Jacen: Because of his outstanding report card in NICU, he will most likely be going home with Kyle and Stephanie on Sunday! He is eating they way they need him to, passed his occupational therapist part, and is over all doing great. Kyle and Stephanie will be rooming in with him in a family room in NICU tomorrow night to make sure they don't have any questions or concerns before taking him home. Since he is getting to go home, Jacen was circumcised today and according to Steph, not very happy about it. Not surprising, right?

Keep Kyle and Stephanie in your prayers as this is a very exciting time, but also will be nerve-racking managing a new baby at home while going to and from NICU to care for and see Nathan. They will do great, I know it!

Nathan: Nathan has had an overall good day. His blood pressure has been a little high, so the doctors have been managing that with some medication to keep it at a good level. Kyle thinks Nathan is really starting to notice when he has a wet diaper and gets frustrated and agitated until it is taken care of. That is such a good sign! He will be a receiving another blood transfusion soon since he has lost some blood. The doctors do not seem to be overly concerned with this since it has been over a week since his last transfusion.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
