Things are getting better again....

Joshua's laser eye surgery on wednesday went well. He was transferred to Level 3 when he came back from the Childrens' Hospital where they did the surgery.

They had to intubate him because of the heavy sedation the doctors gave him. He was finally extubated yesterday and they put him back to nasal prongs. We were planning to come home early last night (we usually go home at around 10 pm) but when his nurse asked us if we want to cuddle him, we immediately said YES. We haven't cuddled him for almost a week and for sure, he missed it too. So we stayed late and just enjoyed the night with our babies (as always).He was also scheduled this morning for his upper GI to make sure his tummy is ok before they start feeding him again. As we remember, he had his upper GI a week ago and the result was "no obstruction". They told us that the test went well but they found out that he has reflux so they're starting him some meds to help him get rid of it. And it's nice to hear that they're going to start feeding him slowly as well. Poor boy, when we held him last night, he couldn't get enough of his soother. He was really hungry!

Everybody who knows Joshua were shocked when he was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. At first, it was hard for us to accept that our baby boy will be on meds to regulate his thyroid for the rest of his life. But we felt better when the results on his tests, xrays, and ultrasounds were normal (his neck/thyroid, knee/bone age, liver etc.)

In level 2, our little princess Joscel is getting better and is bottle feeding.

Whenever we come to visit her, she desats and then smiles. That's how she says "Hi". We can tell that she misses her brother and hopefully they can be together again soon.
