3:42 am

What were you doing at 3:42 am last night? Loggie had us all up for a slumber party!!!



I was actually kind of glad they all woke up. I was just about to go to bed and had been reading some blogs about two triplet families I've been keeping up with. One of the families lost all three of their little ones, 22 weekers, early Wednesday morning (they also lost an infant this past September to an unknown liver disease). Their story hit close to home because she was 22 weeks (when I was admitted with our trio) and her water had broken. When my water broke, I was told that as long as I avoided an infection that I could remain pregnant...making it to 28 weeks. This poor girl only lasted a couple of days before an infection set in and all three babies had to be born. They all three died shortly after birth.

Then there is the McConathy family whose triplets were born March 2nd of this year. Jaxon has been struggling for the past 84 days and has had some pretty major setbacks here lately. (His brother and sister passed away about 7 days after being born). Our trio's NICU days seem like a breeze compared to this little guys journey. Logan had to stay the longest, 76 days, poor little Jaxon is 84 days into this, still on the ventilator (got put back on ocillator tonight), had laser eye surgery last week and his eyes are having a tough time healing, and his tummy has never taken to food. Actually today he became even worse (they're pretty much back to square one) so if you can, sends some prayers their way.

So very sad, makes me REALLY appreciate my incredibly messy and unorganized house, crazy busy days, middle of the night slumber parties, and of course my healthy babies (who have gotten very good at pitching fits!).

AND...that $3345 you all helped us raise for the March of Dimes...even sweeter.
