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.

Circulation

After his procedure, the main focus on Charlie is making sure that his circulation is good. That concern hasn't gone away yet. We were told this might happen. It is being watched and it is not serious at the moment. 

Henry, in the meantime, is doing ok without his CPAP and his focus is growth / nutrition. His ostomy output has always been higher than the docs wanted. There has been another adjustment this week to his nutrition so we are watching that. 

Tomorrow is volunteer photographs day so, even if it is a no news day, I will make sure we have some new photos for you. 

Finally, the nurse that I mentioned yesterday has had her surgery. We hear it went fine and she is recovering in hospital. I occasionally wonder how good a patient a nurse is. I assume terrible.

    Been sending extra love & light to you both, to my wee men & to the nurse that is having surgery. Saw A's tweet earlier today, hoping C is hanging in. Loving on all of you from afar. I am looking forward to pictures from today. xoxo
