Teething/Portagen

There really isn't anything exciting to post about here. Nothing going on. Boys are teething and very cranky. Liam can return to normal formula on Thursday. Which is very exciting for us and I'm sure for Liam too. That portagan is nasty stuff. But other then going a little mental myself (Matt to) life is pretty good. Now for the cute pics you are waiting for. HA can't blame you!

Goodbye poopy 2007 Hello awesome 2008

Who would have thought that 2007 would be the year will so much stress in our brand new little family. Not I. Nor did I think the twins would be in the NICU for 12 days or that Liam would be in NICU for 4 months let alone have heart condition. I've never been so stressed in one year. But now that's all in the past and 2008 is gonna be a great year for our little family. The only good thing about 07' was Liam and Zefram where born the rest wasn't so great. But God has taught me so much that I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Well before I sigh off and post THE most adorable picture of the twins. Just wanted to thank everyone who has prayed for us this past year, and all of your encouraging words. It's really great to know that so many ppl were praying for us and Liam. So thanks :0) Now for that picture you are all waiting for .....



Happy New Years
Matt, Mary, Liam and Zefram

Thank You

The boys received a lot of gifts on their first Christmas from a lot of people, as did Mary and I. I just wanted to briefly thank everyone for their generosity and thoughtfulness.

Merry Christmas, Hosers!

Not Quite Ebola

Zefram's pediatrician diagnosed him with bronchitis, with a side order of eczema to boot. I would've guessed that he just had what Liam had, but his pediatrician was confident it was bronchitis (of course, Liam's diagnosis may have been inaccurate, so who knows). Apparently it has the potential to lead to asthma, so that sucks. So Z's on antibiotics and has a puffer chamber, which is a bit tricky.

Zef still hasn't had his RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) shots, and apparently RSV is one possible cause of bronchitis (there are many), so I really hope it's not the culprit here.

Sick Swap

Alright, I better update this thing before a riot breaks out! ;) Liam's doing great as he seems to have kicked whatever needed kicking. He really is a different kid in that he complains a lot less and is much happier (which I'm sure I've said several times, but it occurs to me often). In about 2-3 more weeks, we'll be able to lift him under his arms, although we've done that a few times unintentionally and he hasn't batted an eye.

It's Zefram's turn however, as he's had what seems to be just a cold for the last few days. Hopefully he clears up in time for Christmas. He's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow because Mary's afraid he's got Ebola, and also because he's past due for his 6 month shots.

Smilier

Liam has been a lot smilier today (yes, I realize that's not a real word). His throat doesn't seem to be as sore when he coughs, but he's still throwing up from coughing 3-4 times a day. It's nice having Liam a bit closer to being back to his usual self again; his relentless fussing and crying was starting to drive us a bit batty.
