Well it's Day 4 since their heart surgery. Joscel and Joshua are doing very well in their recovery. They are both behaving a lot better than the Nurses expected.
Joscel had a few episodes with her heart rate dropping whenever they touch her. She hates being disturbed and she's not afraid to let her Nurses know. We always warn the new Nurse of her crankiness, and they find it to be true almost immediately. She is ready to feed, and will have her first taste to Mommy's milk today. Hopefully she'll take well to it, unlike Joshua.
Joshua is still in his usual state, mellow and laid back. He often just drops his oxygen when Joscel acts up, but it doesn't last long. He just lets us know that he's still there, when Joscel grabs all the attention. They will check his bowels thoroughly before they'll start to feed him again. The last time they tried, he perforated his intestines and had to get an emergency surgery. They think that his bowels healed themselves, but they just want to make sure.
That's all for now. Thanks again to all for your continued prayers and support, it's a long road ahead, and we hope to share our joy with you when they are well enough to bring home.
