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.

Fridays

I get Friday afternoons off. This means that I can go into the hospital and get updates from the week day doctors. We have mentioned before that, although the hospital operates 24/7 (of course!), there is a Mon-Fri team that makes the plan and the nightshift and weekend shift do their best to stick to it. It was described to me today as acute care and chronic care. As unintuative as it sounds, we want our boys to be in chronic care mode. Acute conditions need attention today. Right now, sometimes. Chronic is a bit more long term. We have spent too long in acute mode. 

This weekend I feel confident that everyone is going to stick to the plan and that is a good feeling. 

I was telling Henry all about this earlier. I may also have mentioned Scotland.
