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.

Staying Positive

Unusually for the author, a short update.

Henry's progress post-op is fine - losing the fluid is important, on-going and a slow process. He is getting better and we are hoping he will move onto feeds soon.

Charlie had a setback and we are both trying to keep it in perspective. His stoma prolapsed, which means that it pushed out. It pushed out a lot and it looks... terrible. It looks horrifying but the doctors are, for now, saying it is manageable. It is Friday night and we are going to talk about it again in the morning.

    Hey I found this great quote on positivity: It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts. Robert H. Schuller
    Staying positive for all of you! xoxo
