Poor little babies had colds this week but they seem to be about through. Evan got the worse of it with goopy eyes and boogies galore, Isaac seemed to have a lesser version. Marie got it too a bit and I could be next but it's a necessary experience. Just like poopie...and since we're on the subject, man did I see a lot of poopie today! All variety of color, consistency, and smell. I'll spare further details but man was I in the trenches for awhile, and I cleaned the cat box today too. I think that puts me in some category of dookie expertise. Anyway, I've been getting some texts from fam and friends since I put the videos up on youtube. I try to answer everyone but I barely get a minute to do my own dookie so replying to all is a far off dream yet me thinks I can respond to a few here. So here it goes.
Evan is wearing a d.o.c. band on his head. He was the head down twin on bottom and since Marie went the distance(38 weeks!) and gave birth to 12.5 lbs!! of babies, poor little guy took his lumps. It happens more with twins. He is on his second band, they aren't cheap but I have to say the difference the first band made is so friggin phenomenal, it has a been a huge change! I've read a few articles on the history of the subject and it has made a significant difference in babies with conditions similar to Evans that not much could've been done about a few years back. His was considered a severe case but he is doing awesome with it and it's just really cool to witness how medical technology can help so much, take my word as I have also been witness to this in other forms, since this whole journey began. I would also like to say how cool it has been that family has been willing to help with the cost of Evan's little miracle helmet...chokes me up a bit...just talk amongst ya selves...a little verklempt. I guess i'm on a Mike Meyers movie quote kick, which probably means i'm delirious and need sleep, or a beer! Until the next few free minutes...
