Greetings.
Quite a lot has happened over the past two days. Elsa and Jonas reached the two month milestone. They spent quite a bit hand(foot)crafting a card for us (see picture). Elsa and Jonas are both in the same room now...which is nice...they are about five feet from each other!
Elsa has been doing so well on her nasal canula that the doctor left orders for her to go full time on it. She is off of CPAP! To be honest, she hated the CPAP headgear so I think this is even better news for her than us:).
Mari and I held Jonas and Elsa at the same time yesterday...a double kangaroo! Quite a treat. Mari held Jonas while I held Elsa a few feet away. Of course, with two babies that are little furnances on us...we were watching each other for the tell tale sign of a snooze. I stole a few winks without Mari catching me. What a great valentines day!
Jonas is beginning the weening process for another attempt at CPAP. We are praying that his lungs and brain are ready for the promotion this time. We continue to pray for Elsa's growth and digestion.
God Bless,
Dan, Elsa, Jonas & Mari
Dear DEAR Mari and Dan,
ReplyDeleteCrazy how "taken-for-granted" growth is so very astonishing at these early developmental stages for Elsa and Jonas---precious, steady growth. In a few years, we might forget a year's worth of aging. But, today, we celebrate minutes and hours of milestone growth and get so very excited at reaching routine mileposts, as Elsa and Jonas move ever closer to "Departure Day". Blessing abound, as struggles continue. We are with you all, dear ones. Our hopes, prayers, and thoughts are continually with you all. Thanks always for bringing us your medical news and personal emotions and and precious photos.
Don and Delores
Jonas and Elsa's first Valentine's card to their Mom and Dad is the best card ever! Those tiny feet prints are precious! I'm so happy to see them both doing so well! I love visiting. :)
