Nathan Robert and Kaleb Glenn were born almost 3 months early on 10/25/2012. Nathan weighed in at 1lb 5 oz and Kaleb at an even more scary 13.9 oz. Shortly after being delivered by emergency c-section due to something called a placental abruption, they were transported from St. Luke’s to Texas Children’s Hospital NICU by the “Kangaroo Crew” from Texas Children’s Hospital. Mommy is still at St. Lukes and should be released on 10/27. Nathan and Kaleb are currently both on ventilators and have a long and challenging road ahead. Today they attempted to take Nathan off the ventilator to see if he could breathe on his own, but ended up having to put the ventilator back in. The NICU doctor said that this first week is extremely critical, and they are the most critical babies they are caring for right now. For such a big hospital, that’s a scary concept to fathom. They want to get the babies off the ventilators as soon as possible, as it is also hard on their lungs. The babies are so small, that even the small temperature sticky pads are too big to stay stuck to their tiny cheeks.
We started this blog to share photos, updates, and videos with friends and family who can’t be with us during these trying times.
We are registered at Amazon, Babys-R-Us, and Target. The links to these registries are on the right side of this page, listed under “Our Links”. We both are really hoping to take the babies home within 3 months, but the doctors are saying it could easily be six :(.
Thanks for everyone’s thoughts and prayers!
