Things are looking good, Yesterday Mom changed Jacksons diaper, It is these little normal things that are making Mom and Dad very happy. Jackson is almost off all of the pain medications since his heart valve surgery. He was peeking at Mom and Dad. There is talk of starting Jackson on some feedings soon, since he is doing so well.

Connor is still recovering from his surgery but is a little fighter and they are hoping to have him back on his feedings any time now.

Each time I get an update from Dace I am amazed by the fight these two little guys are fighting. Every little thing is such a big thing. They are so tiny but their will to live and the love that they receive from their Mommy and Daddy are helping each day to bring them closer to coming home.They will likely be in the hospital until they reach the age where they are considered "full term" that is about the end of August early September.

Hey Rhonda and Dace,
I am so glad to hear the boys are doing well. That is the first of MANYx2 diaper changes mommy! Keep your spirits high as you have two little fighters on your hands.
Love Ang, Jamy and Darius

Jackson and Connor are both gorgeous little boys. Congrats to Rhonda and Dace.
I've worked at St. Joe's for twenty years and the NICU is one of the best units in the world. Your boys are under the best possible care.
Don't forget to take care of yourselves. Remember to eat right and get enough rest.
You're in my prayers and thoughts, Janet
