Another Day

Much is the same today. Sawyer is still fighting the infection with little ground being gained. The Neonatologist seems to have stepped up the intervention, and he has so many drugs being pumped through his little system. He shows some small signs of improvement, but these are many times followed by some bad news about something else. It is a wait and see thing. The next 24 hours are going to tell us a lot.

Zoe graduated to the next size diapers and pillow, used to support her when she sleeps on her tummy. Small gains, but we will take what we can get at this point. She is continuing to do well.

We will continue to post. Think good thoughts.

Thank you for keeping us updated on Sawyer and Zoe. We think of them (and you) all of the time. So many ups and downs for so few days. It seems like you guys are taking it in the best way you can day by day - moment to moment. We love you! Deborah and Justin

Margo & Neil,

We're thinking of you and your two little warriors. And sending as many good vibes as we can generate your way. You'll get great care at Swedish. Our neice had premature twins there about seven years ago and the care was fantastic. Hope to see you and the little ones soon.

Neil and Margo- In reading your updates, I can't help but think how amazing and precious life is. Zoe and Sawyer are so lucky to have you as parents, it sounds like you are doing everything that you can for them. I hope that your love for each other grows, as you both love and support your little ones. We are sending Zoe lots of girl grow power, and Sawyer lots of special healing power. We love you, Hilkka, Bruce, Finley and baby girl

Hey Neil and Margo,

We'll keep our fingers crossed and keep thinking positive thoughts. I am so glad to hear the good news about Zoe's progress. I haven't called because I don't want to be an additional bother in an already busy day but if you need someone to talk to or anything else don't hesitate to call. We love you so much and are thinking about you all the time.

Love Dan and Lorie

Hi Margo and Neal:

My routine is to get up each morning and check the blog so I don't drive your Mom crazy with questions....so happy to hear that Zoe is doing well! Sawyer is apparently a good little fighter....as you know we are all prying and thinking good thoughts.

When my former husband was in Swedish I remember that we could order food at any time day or night and that it was pretty good. Hope you are taking advantage of all the services you can get to take care of yourselves.

Fondly, Mary Ann O.
