Update

Joshua & Noah's surgery went well. Both of them had a little problem with bleeding but it resolved. The Dr. ran some blood work to make sure every thing was ok, & it all came back ok. My boys have to keep every one on their toes. We are glad it is over with, Thanks for all the prayers.

Jeremy's semester is almost over and we look forward to seeing more of him. We can't what till summer, the boys & I go outside when ever we can. We also look forward for RSV season to be over so we can start visiting everyone.

Hope everyone is doing well & we send our love & kisses.

Sorry

Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Joshua & Noah keep me busy they need entertained all the time. They are doing great and are growing like weeds. I see them developing new skills everyday. They both started giving hugs when you ask them for one.
Last week we had Dr. appointments on Monday & Tuesday to prepare for hernia surgery on Monday April 21. We were glad to see Jackie ( one of our favorite nurses) while we were in Cleveland. We miss Jackie a lot, she have been a huge blessing during our rocky journey and will always be very special to us. Thank you for always being there, We love you. I read that NICU nurses are angles sent from Heaven and I truly believe that because they help parents find hope and joy in the birth of their child with special needs. They not only take care of the babies but they take care of the families too.
Please pray for Noah & Joshua's surgery.

My Mom, Grandma, Austin & I painted Easter eggs tonight, Joshua & Noah watched. They tried to eat the eggs when we showed them. My Mom & Grandma decorated the boys with stickers, they look so cute. Next year they will be able to help color the eggs that will be even more fun.

Jeremy & I got them bouncers this week they love them. Noah never stops bouncing in it. The other day he fell asleep in it, it was so cute.

The boys hernia surgery is scheduled for April 21. Please pray that everything goes well.

Thank You

I'm very grateful for my mom she is such a big help with the boys & i don't know what i would do if we didn't live with her. She has been such a big help & the boys love all the nice stuff she buys them. Jeremy really enjoys all the good cooking because he knows that i don't have time to cook Thank you Mom we love you. My grandma would some times tell me she was bored at home, well she can't say that now! She is over every day helping with the boys, she does our laundry, and she goes with us to Dr. appointments to Cleveland. Thank you Grandma we love you. Austin is a big help with the boys & Bud babysat the boys for the 1st time Monday. The boys always enjoy seeing Grandpa and have a smile and a laugh for him. Thank you, we love you.

Here are the Steelers pictures that I have been promising. Sorry it took so long.



This was an exciting weekend. Joshua & Noah spent Saturday night at their grandparents, Jean & Ernie's, for the 1st time. Jeremy & I planned to go out for the evening and spend time with out the boys. But we had a huge snow storm and everything closed early, even Walmart. So we got a pizza and went back to his parents and I put Noah to sleep. He was so tired he was having a major melt down. We then left and went home to bed. We did have fun sled riding with Lindsay, Tim, Jessica, & Meghan earlier in the day. Sunday we went back over to Jean & Ernie's and spent the day there. Thank you for watching them, Jeremy and I enjoyed the time we got to spend together. We love you.



Joshua & Noah had tons of fun at their grandparents. They always enjoy spending time with Jessica & Meghan, who are big helps. Angie, Ray, Lindsay & Grandma Sellers spent the day holding them & even Tim was helping out. They both enjoyed spending time in a jumper. Noah was like the energizer bunny he kept bouncing & bouncing. Joshua would jump for a while then pull up his legs and it would spin around. They were very good for their grandma & grandpa, & they enjoyed having them over.



Thank you all for posting messages it is nice to hear from you. In May we hope to see everyone, RSV season will be over and we can finally be around people. We miss you all and send our love.

Joshua and Noah had a doctors appointment today in Cleveland, we saw Dr. Wilson from the preemie clinic and Dr. Hart the pulmonary doctor. I hate the drive to Cleveland but I love seeing Dr. Wilson she is always so encouraging and Dr. Hart is a great doctor. They weened Noah's O2, so far so good, which makes him at 1/16. They took Joshua off of lasix and potassium, I am so excited because he hates taking the potassium. They said if Joshua starts acting like he needs lasix I can give it to him, by now I know all the signs. Dr. Yoa was going to be there but she had to see a baby at one of the other hospitals, I missed seeing her today. I know I will talk to her soon because we keep in touch. We did not stop by the NICU today because the boys were tired and fussy, I miss everyone. Over all it was a good trip.

Jeremy has a cold, I hope the boys and I don't catch it.

Well I am off to bed. It has been a long day. Thank you to everyone who posted. We miss you all.

Noah & Joshua love to look at each other.
