Happy Birthday, Wyatt and Bailey!

October 15 Wyatt and Bailey turned 2! Oh what a long way they have come in 2 short years. I found some pictures on Lee's phone of them in the first few weeks of being in the NICU. What a scarey, lonely time for us.
This is Wyatt a few days after his first big surgery. He would have been between 1 and 2 weeks old.

In this picture Bailey is around 2 weeks old. It is the day after she was transferred to South to be put on the oscillator. It is the first time I had ever touch her. I was so glad to find this picture on Lee's phone.

Wyatt and Bailey on their 1st birthday
October 16 the day of their 2nd birthday party
We again kept their party small due to the RSV, flu, and cold season.

Grandaddy was a bad boy and let Wyatt play in the cake.

Brianne was sweet and helped them open their gifts. She has also grown and changed a lot in the last year.
First time on his 4-wheeler

Enjoying Bailey's bean bag the next day.

Tyler says Bailey is studying her cards. If you look at her leg you can see her band aid where she went to the doctor for her 2 year old check up. She got two shots. One vaccine was for hepatitis. The other was her RSV shot which she will get every month for 5 months. We are so thankful she was approved by insurance to get it. It cost nearly 5K per shot. Wyatt did not qualify so we are just praying he doesn't get RSV.

Your kids are walking, breathing miracles. It's hard for me to look at their pictures of when they were soooo little. I cannot begin to imagine what you guys went through. I'm so happy they are doing soooooo much better 2 years later. I pray that neither of them get RSV this year and that the flu bug leaves your household ASAP!

As to Ian using duocal, I've been adding 2 scoops to 4 sippy cups a day. Including the duocal that makes the rice drink 21 calories per ounce. We'll see what the dietician says tomorrow....
