How on earth do you get it right that Holland doesn't eat the crayons??? My kids eat every damn thing they find.

MAMMA! What a wonderful thing! But I never had any doubts that they were both destined for greatness!! The story unwinds each time they achieve something else. Smooches and get well hugs to Eden! Love, Mamma Jules
Fabu! So glad that Holland is better and hope that you will post that Eden is on the mend soon.
I'm so glad to hear that - despite their illnesses - that both girls seem to be doing so well. You seem in good spirits as well and that is good to see, too. :)
I met you for the second time this Sun. at Panera. I am so glad to have access to your blog again. I have spent the last few days reading most of your story. Your strength inspires me! I just started blogging but check us out at mitchell5.blogspot.com. Hope to see you again!

Chase, our preemie, was born 11/28/04. He was 1 lb. 12 oz's. He was 24 weeks also. It's fun to read about your children. I'm glad they're doing good. Keep posting their accomplishments!

[Image][Image]Well, now Holland and I are feeling much better, but Eden is very sick. It's not the flu, and it's not RSV as far as we know. It's just a nasty respiratory virus. The symptoms are severe congestion, cough, and a fever that lasts 3 or 4 days. Also, definite loss of appetite, and extreme tiredness. Holland took 2 naps a day while she was sick, and went to bed around 5:30 or 6 and slept 13 hours straight through.
I'm happy to report that the girls' pediatrician was very impressed with how well Holland handled this virus. Given her history, it wouldn't have been surprising for her to end up in the hospital. She is clearly recovering from the chronic lung disease that resulted from being on the ventilator for so long, and she fought off this recent virus much the same as any other baby would. That's HUGE! Let's hope that Eden does as well. Eden is not on the nightly pulmicort breathing treatments, but she has been better at fighting off bugs in the past so hopefully it will go okay.
One piece of good news that I just HAVE to report... Eden is BABBLING!!! She says MAMA!!! She says baba too, but did I mention that she says MAMA??? It's her favorite word, and I think she knows what it means. She says it all the time, all day long. Pretty amazing if you ask me, considering that just over 4 months ago she couldn't even HEAR! She's talking!!! She's amazing!!!
