The Boys are here - the first 24 hours!
Cassie delivered 3 beautiful baby boys yesterday at 3:06, 3:07, and 3:08pm. Baby A - Lincoln, weighed 3 lbs 14 1/2 oz and was 17 1/2 in., Baby B - Cade weighed 3 lbs 13 oz and was 17 in, and Baby C - Evan weighed 3 lbs 14 oz and was 16 1/2 in. The boys are in the NICU to monitor their breathing, vitals and make sure they get food and fluids. Cade does have an oxygen tube but we are told he is the norm and Lincoln and Evan are the (good) exception. Cade was given a "treatment" to help his breathing, and he has since been taken off the oxygen, but his breathing tube remains in just for air. The doctors and nurses are very positive and when asked for an estimate of how long the boys would be in the NICU they said about 2 weeks. I have been able to change diapers, check temperatures and most recently tried to bottle feed Evan. All of this is being done through an isolet now. Evan took a little of his bottle, then fell asleep; so to make sure he got his food, he now has a feeding tube. Cassie did awesome and is doing well now. She has been able to get down to see the boys a couple of times and we are looking forward to watching their first bath and may be able hold Lincoln and Evan briefly, maybe as soon as tonight.

Of course, I knew they were here, but I have been eagerly awaiting this update. Thank you! Such GREAT news for each one. I'm sure this has been the longest whirlwind ever. Sure hope you can find a moment to sit back and take the miracle of it all in. Praising God for your blessings, and praying continually still. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteWe are so hyappy for you to hear of your three beautiful miracles. We love you and look forward to helping any way that we can! Thank God for all your health!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Awesome! Awesome! Praise God! I am so happy for you both. Congratulations on the new additions. I am so happy that they are healthy. I hope Brock enjoys his new baby brothers. If there is anything at all that I can do from 4 1/2 hours away, do not hesitate to ask.
