I have been a little busy lately which can account for my lack of blogging. My wife was put in the hospital for pre-eclampsia for two weeks and on the 18th my twin boys were born by cesarean section. They have been in the neonatal intensive care unit since then and we don't have an idea when they will be released. The boys are doing pretty well. They have never been on oxygen but they are both on feeding tubes and are in the isolettes (also known as incubators). I am constantly amazed at these tiny guys. They are so small 3 lbs 11 oz and 4 lbs 4 oz, yet they have all their parts and are moving. Memories of my pediatrics classes from PT school keep popping in my mind as I watch these guys. Babinski reflexes, ATNR, moro, palmar grasp all the things that I thought I had forgotten seem to still be in there...somehow.
