Another Day in the life of Angie & Xander

Well, when Tracy came to our house from the hospital last night he said a very nice LDS NICU Nurse had talked to them and said the baby, realisticly, would probably have to be in the hospital one or two more weeks. The Dr. had been telling them he could be released when Angie was but the nurse said his body temp would not stay up high enough and he was too weak to get enough to eat. He would just wear himself out trying to eat. So they put a feeding tube through his nose so he could get a jump start. Angie is pumping her breast milk to give him in a bottle or the feeding tube. He just is not strong enough to nurse. This is so hard for Angie, the baby has not been allowed to even leave the levcl 2 NICU. The doctor said Angie could be released tomorrow, which will be hard because she will just be going back and forth every 2 hours. Tracy is going to take the boys home tomorrow and a good friend in their ward that has kids all the same ages as Angie's is going to keep the boys so they can go to school. Tracy will come back with Camary and he can work from here or the hospital or whereever. Angie is really emotional because this is just not what she had planned and it is so hard. Please keep them in your prayers. Then there is Larry & I who are scheduled to leave for Maui on Monday at 1 pm, not very good timing huh? Love To All Of You!!! The hospital phone # is 702-255-5000 room #334 I am not sure what time she will be released tomorrow (Sunday 10/14)and if you want to call her here at our house the phone # is 702-631-9694. LOVE YA'LL
