Okay little man -- we decided to stay with our friends some more. Nathan had an episode this evening.
Mommy however is improving -- YEAH! She is now getting off the Mg and we will be moving Nathan to a hospital closer to us as soon as Mommy gets discharged.
Coming home will be a challenge.
One good thing - this boy is a chow hound. His is nursing really well. Yeah for small successes.
We also figured out that he is having these O2 saturation episodes when he is sleeping very deeply.
Have fun...

Nathan Update
Hi everyone-
We have had another O2 saturation episode again today. So now Nathan is on the 5 day count. What that means is that if Nathan has another episode within these five days then he will restart the 5 day count clock again.
BTW Mommy has decided that this stress was needed because now she has become hypertensive with a BP of 140/104. Not so good. She is now on medication to control the fluid in her system -- a little Mg goes a long way.
Hang in there.

Update on Nathan
Hi everyone-
Saturday evening Nathan decided to fail his "Car Seat Challenge" test. Now as educated people and wanting our children to succeed at everything they do -- make sure you understand there is a tone of sarcasim in my writing -- Nathan failing your first test isn't necessarily the way we wanted you to begin. Failing that test landed him in the NICU -- or as PC people like to call it "Special Care Nursery". Failing the car seat challenge means that he had issues maintaining good O2 saturation in his blood. His heart rate never went funky thank goodness.
He will be monitored for the next 48 hours to make sure he doesn't do it again.
Have fun....

Welcome Nathan Frederick Davis
Hi everyone-
Well from the previous post we again hid from the world (or at least hid from the world) that Aline and I where expecting our 4th child. Go figure after all of the problems we had conceiving children this time -- things just worked -- WOW. So now here he is:
Specifics: Born 9/25/08, 7lbs 10oz, 20.5 inches
Everything is looking good for a quick return to the house.

Calling all parents and grandparents of Multiples
Hi everyone-
UPDATE: The governor has signed the bill!!! Thank you.
Well things have been happening at the Davis household lately.
Something that I feel everyone who has multiples should do -- first read this article
Bill would let parents split up twins in school - Boston.com
And also read the bill.
Second -- this bill would not let parents choose a "favorite" teacher or give them any other advantage over other children in the same grade -- it would give the parents the ability to decide how they want their children educated either as a group or in seperate classrooms. Currently, most public schools have a set policy to automatically place multiples in separate classrooms without parents input despite current research that says classroom placement should be determined based on the children's needs. It simply allows parents to have the final say in determining if their children will do better if they are placed together or seperately.
Finally -- the bill has successfully passed both house and senate of Massachusetts now we need to get the governor to sign the bill. Please take the time to call the Governor's office at office number is: 617-725-4005 or in state 888-870-7770. Please note that the Governor has until September 18th in which to take action on this.
Thank you.
