Updates about their health and development


So far, we haven't had a trip to the emergency and it's been a couple of months, thank God!

Joscel and Joshua are both nearsighted that's why they are required to wear glasses. Here's the thing about Joshua's eyes though. His left eye wanders when he tries to focus specially when he's watching tv. We were told that he might have a surgery to fix it if the glasses don't help. We just can't force them to wear their glasses all the time since they pull them out immediately.



Joscel started walking when she was 18 months old (15 months adjusted). And now, she's walking and running all over the house. Joshua is being checked by his physiotherapist and was told to have weak hips. He's gonna walk but he'll take his time. For now, he needs to exercise his hips and legs. So far, he can take 2-3 steps on his own.


And they are both talking and love to copy whatever we say!

"Sick" week

Last week was a "SICK" week for us. After our trip to Edmonton, Joshua had a cold, was coughing and had a slight fever. 2 days after, it was my turn. Flu hit me. I was in bed for hours and just couldn't get up so Jo had to take care of Joscel and Joshua. He was complaining a lot by the way... He said it's so hard to take care of 2 babies at once (hey, that's what I've been doing for almost 2 years now!). Anyway, thankfully, I got better after resting and taking tylenol. The next day, it was Joscel and Joseph's turn.

We also found out that Jo tore his right shoulder's rotating cap. Maybe he forced it when he was lifting heavy stuff while he works. So now, he can't work for a bit. He needs that "cap" to heal first.
