Introduction

Our sons Charles George Fitzpatrick and Henry Michael Fitzpatrick were born prematurely on November 16, 2013 at a gestational age of 24 weeks and 1 day. Their "due date" was March 7th, 2014. We started this site on November 28th.

Both Aly and David will be posting to the site. While you will probably be able to tell who is writing by our writing styles, we will sign off on our entries with our initials so you will be sure of the author.

November 25, 2013 Marvelous is Back

The weekend and nightshift doctors are very good but we were both ready to see Dr Marvelous again and get his perspective. He has known our boys since they were born and really knows them.

The weekend had, of course, been a setback. The path that had been mapped out from day 1 had always been "if things go well". We have strayed far from the going well path.

In a nutshell, we now need a period of no bad shit happening. Starting today.

Henry has an infection that everybody seems to think we can take care of (Aly got to meet the Infectious Disease doctors, I am sure she will go into how that meeting went too).

Charlie had a repeat of his head ultrasound and by the time it was taken and the results posted, Dr Marvelous had left. We had a confusing meeting about it late on Monday but Aly and I both agreed we should talk to Dr Marvelous about it in the morning.

Henry opened an eye today.
