I can't believe I haven't written since Sunday!! All of you who reads this day to day were bored!!! Well, LOTS have happened since Sunday. On Monday, Zachary had a Dr. appt. at Children's Medical Center. We went to the appt. and ended up being admitted because his hemaglobin was too low. He got a transfusion last night that brought it up significantly and then another smaller one today. I can't believe how pink he is!!!!! He's NEVER been this pink before. He see's the hematologist next week to begin some work-up as to what is causing him to breakdown his red blood cells. He's been eating like a horse today!! Kimberly and Les are taking a few well deserved minutes to go out to dinner. I'm staying with him here in the hospital. I'll spend the night tonight since Les has to go home and go to work tomorrow. He's such a great dad!!! Kimberly's a great mom also. Zachary is such a sweetheart also. He's just had a rough time getting started. We're just praying that the Lord gives much wisdom to the Dr. next week and that the blood will keep him going or help him to jumpstart his own production of RBC's. I hope you all have a great day and more updates later.

Hey all, Well here we are tonight-the last night to stay with the kids maybe. I'll miss it!!!!!! Tomorrow is Dr. day and we hope to see the hematologist but I bet that will be later in the week. We'll let you know how things are. The other grandchildren will be here by this time next Sunday evening. Have a great day and I'll keep in touch.










It's 3:15am, how are you? We're good here. Tonight and then Sunday night should be the last night that you find me blogging during the night. I'm going to go home and spend the night on Monday. It's time to begin to let the kids handle their little bundle of joy on their own. They can do it though!!! They are doing well. The night's are the hardest on Kimberly because of the no sleep deal. Zachary is eating great and doing wonderful. Les told her that he was tired because he stayed up late the other night. Kimberly commented about it-it was funny. I have enjoyed being here with them but our other 2 grandchildren will be here in 1 week. One nice thing is that I'm not far away and can be here in a few short minutes. Of course that few short minutes may seem like hours to them when they are really tired and having a screaming baby. As my friend, Linda, told some people with a little sleeping baby, "him??? screaming??? I can't belleve it!! He's sleeping so peacefully!!!" Of course she was teasing them. They told us that it took 4 adults to take care of this little sleeping baby. The husband said that he ended up going to a friend's house to sleep while her mom, aunt, and the new mom tried to take care of their little guy. This little guy was about the size of Zachary. It was funny. Les has been so sweet to me-allowing me to invade his privacy and to be here with them. He's appreciative because at least someone is here that knows what they are doing. I've teased him about going to diapering 101 and such. Well, I'll close now because I still need to add some pictures-NEW ones at that.
