Happy Birthday!!!!

Five years! It really is weird and awe inspiring at the same time. They had such a rough start and come so far. Let's see we came home with O2, apnea monitors for all three, two suction machines, suction cathers, pulse ox, syringes, several medicine per kid, 2 g-tubes, too many hospitalizations to count, vent 24/7 for Connor.

Five years later where are we?? Well we still have medical equipment. Only one of the three that still uses O2, we don't use apnea monitors any more, only one suction machine, no meds for Chloe, one daily med for Gwynne for allergies, not much change with Connor in that department. We are now down to only one kid with a g-tube, over 2 years of NO, I repeat NO hospitalizations. And Connor is only on the vent for 12 hours a day, and come spring we may be able to be off the vent completely.

These kids are just truly amazing. The girls are doing well in school, but have some maturity issues, and just are smaller then other kids their age.

Gwynne was 1lb 9oz and 12 1/2 inches long at birth. At her 5 year check up she was almost 41 1/2 inches tall and weighed 33 lbs (Height is 35% & weight is 10%)

Connor was 2lbs and 12 1/2 inches long at birth. 5 year check up he was 39 1/2 inches tall and weighed 38lbs ( I didn't get the % on him)

Chloe was 1lb 6oz and 12 1/2 inches long at birth. 5 year check up she was 41 inches tall and weighed 36 lbs ( 24% for height and 30% for weight)

Happy Birthday my little miracles!!!!
