Monday Morning Update!

Hello everyone! Julie again, Kristin sent me an e-mail this morning (as I'm back in Ohio now) with details for a blog update! Kristin's doctor is keeping her in the hospital for one more day (discharge now Tuesday). Her blood pressure is still a little high, so they're now giving her a new medication to help get rid of the excess fluid, which is possibly causing the high blood pressure. Kristin's lost over 20 pounds, but still 40 pounds from her pre-pregnancy weight, so if the Dr. likes the results from today, she'll be discharged tomorrow. The NICU doctor came by this morning with an update. Joey and Henry continue to be very active and are progressing well. They're going to increase their feedings to 4cc's today. Sam is making progress and will begin smaller feedings today - his first! He is still on the "jet" ventilator. Tom has been on a ventilator, but is now on the jet, like Sam. The doc doesn't see this as a setback for Tom, but more of a "bump". Overall, they're all progressing well. Tim even held Joey yesterday - and changed another diaper. :) Kristin held Tommy and Henry, but let Sam rest. It can be a little stressful moving them out of their isolettes, so we wanted to avoid the additional stress for him. Kristin and Tim say thanks again for all your love and support! Its been a whirlwind since Thursday - and they're not sure how we could have gotten thru it all without you!

    We certainly appreciate the updates as we know things are hectic and we don't want to bother them. Thanks Julie for taking the time to do this. We continue to keep all in our prayers.

    Great news that Kristin's doing so well - whew! Happy to hear Sam & Tom are on track and I'm sure they'll catch up to Henry & Joey sooner than we think.

    Jules - thanks again for the spreading the good word.

    Love and best wishes to all the Colemans.
    Lynda, Joel & Samantha

    PS
    Samuel is Samantha's favorite quad, even though he isn't a 'girl Sam'.

    Thanks for keeping the blog up to date, Julie. We know the last few days have been hectic and traumatic, so we 'aunts' will stay out of the way until needed or told it's okay to visit. D & R
