Here are some random updates and thoughts from the last few days:
- Cole is completely off oxygen! No nasal canula (tube you see many old folks using to breathe)
- Both boys now only need to take all their feedings by mouth consistently before they can go home. Grady has eaten the majority of his feedings-yes, the whole bottle!, but he still has his NG tube in. If he takes eats the whole bottle consistently today and tonight, his tube might come out tomorrow.
- Cole is also eating some, but only about 25% of his bottle. Perfectly normal since he was on oxygen for a week. He did eat 50% of his bottle for me yesterday, but the night nurse said he didn't show much interest in it during his early AM feedings. I think it's probably because she wasn't bribing him with a car when he turns 16 (but shhh...don't tell your dad) to get him to eat like I have been, but whatever, he'll catch up when he's ready.
- Otherwise, both boys look great! Cuter and cuter by the day. I know, I'm not surprised either.
- Aunt Karen is doing OK. She's had some post-pregnancy blood pressure and headache issues, so everyone needs to please continue thinking good thoughts so she can bounce back to her normal self. When I talked to her last, Rhett was keeping her company in the couch. Good job, Rhett, take care of Momma.
- Tomorrow their Papi comes back to Knoxville! Whooohoooo! I miss that guy.

ok, you should probably go ahead and set up a limit on the cheek-pinching on Cole, because I won't be able to stop myself otherwise!
And, Grady, keep up the good work on the bottle, show it who's boss! You own the milk, you own the milk!
We are so proud of you all!
