Breathe

left: Drew, right: Dane
We can, finally. The boys literally. Me figuratively.

The last few weeks have been nuts. Three weeks ago today I thought that Drew was having an ear infection relapse. I took him to the doctor for more antibiotics only to be told that I needed to drive to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and not to pass go or collect my $200. This began what would become a 2 week stint in the hospital. We went to the ER 4 times - twice with Drew, twice with Dane. Drew's inpatient stay was 5 days, Dane's 3. This week we've been to the doctor twice for follow ups. Drew is good to go, yesterday Dane got a "B." I'll take it, gratefully.

All this thanks to a virus called RSV. Not such a big deal once you're about 6 months old. A big deal when all you can do is lie there.

Many thanks to the family and friends who took loving care of Caden and Claire during this whole mess. You know who you are.

Many thanks to those of you who called, e-mailed, texted, prayed, and just wanted to help, even if I wouldn't let you do anything. You are much appreciated.

We are so glad it's spring...and by the way, the boys are now 3 months old and weighing in at around 14 pounds each.

Just got caught up on your blog and feel so sad that the twins have been so sick:( I would have brought you a meal if I knew you were across the street! Glad things are back to "normal" :)
