Genetic Tests

Trey is doing well being intubated - we are so proud of him for tolerating what must be a really uncomfortable breathing aid.  He has a very tough life right now and the best we can do for him is be by his side and hold him as often as we can.  Aside from dietary and medication adjustments there's not much news.  Now we just wait and watch as both babies continue to grow.

We forgot to mention that the genetic tests we mentioned a week ago have been postponed.  Since Trey received a blood transfusion the day before the bloodwork was to be drawn for testing there has been a delay.  It is necessary to wait two weeks from the transfusion date before blood can be sent out - we need to make sure it is Trey's blood that is being tested!  So we don't expect any test results for another three weeks.

  2. Nice picture in the Plaindealer. Super looking "Twins". Oh ya, Mom and Dad look good also.They are in my prayers especially Trey right now. I pray to my friend St. Jude. He's a real good friend of God so I know God is listening. I've had St. Jude in my wallet since I started driving the big bus. He was there for me and I'm sure He's here for Trey. Keep the faith and the smile o.k. "A Friend"

We take each day as it comes and are as strong as we need to be for our children, there is a lifetime ahead and someday this will be a memory be it happy or sad. Hope you get to spend some quality time together as a family and soon be home!!
