We're Rooming In!

Since dad and Josh are cuddling in the room right now, I thought I would give you a quick update about us.
We started rooming-in with Joshua on thursday night. The original plan from the doctors was just to room-in with him for 2 nights and take him home supposedly today. But it breaks our heart to leave our little princess here at the hospital. Besides, we couldn't figure out a way on how to take care of Josh at the same time while visiting Joscel. So one of their nurses talked to the doctor in charge for the week to just send Joscel as well since she had improved her feeding. I guess as soon as she heard that Joshua is going home soon, she smartened up and just proved that she can go home too! We also called some home oxygen companies to install oxygen tank/stuff for Joscel, she is still on prongs but it's ok. They said it's not that bad....
So hopefully, Joscel can join us tonight in the room and they'll send both of them home on Monday or Tuesday.
Joshua failed his car seat test because he is still tiny. They'll give it another try tomorrow and if he fails it again, the only option we have is to get car beds for them which are worth $100 each.
Shanna also stopped by last night to give Joshua his "Welcome Home" feast and presents... Thanks again Shepherd family!
Sorry for the unorganized updates today. It's just that I haven't slept since thursday night!
