IT'S A........

BOY & GIRL!!!! Hi everyone, this is Randie, Megan's sister-in-law, I am posting for Megan today.

The twins arrived Friday evening around 9:15. Megan wasn't feeling good and went to the hospital where they informed her that she was in labor and that they would be prepping the OR for her c-section. Cora Marie came out first, weighing 5 lbs 5 oz and 17 1/2 inches long, Kale James came out minutes later weighing 5 lbs 13 oz and 17 3/4 inches long. They were born around 9:15 pm. Both babies were having some breathing issues due to being born early, (35 weeks, 1 day).

Kale was transferred to the Children's Hospital in Peoria on Saturday morning. Jed stayed with him until this morning (Monday). I am happy to report that he is now off of oxygen and doing really well. Megan is there with him now and is able to hold him as much as she wants.

Cora remains at BroMenn, Jed is with her. She is doing great and is expected to come off of her oxygen today.

I will post more information soon. Hopefully I'll be able to post that they will be coming home in my next post.

THYROIDGLOSSAL DUCT CYST

The not-so-fun part of July for us was Paige developing a cyst that needed to be removed. A few weeks ago Jed and I noticed a lump on the side of Paiges neck. It was a hard and seemed to have just appeared. It was a Friday night, so I called her pediatrician who advised us to come in Sat. morning, thinking it was a lymph node. 2 doctors looked at it at her office and sent us for an ultrasound at the hospital, they did not think it was lymph node but a cyst. From there, we saw a surgeon at the Children's hospital in Peoria, who sent us for a 2nd ultrasound which confirmed this cyst and scheduled us to have surgery to remove it.
Tuesday of this week we got the cyst removed, about an hour long procedure. Now, we have 2 weeks of little activity, no swimming, bike riding, running and jumping.
Popsicles and Gatorade for breakfast the morning before surgery.
Paige and Daddy in recovery.
This bandage will stay on for the next 2 weeks.
