Mark & Jessie are 3 weeks old

Mark and Jessie continue to do well.  Both have tried bottle feeding but without much luck.  Below find a video taken last Saturday when Cathy tried to get Mark to bottle feed.  Neither one of them has an IV anymore, and Mark has even "popped his top" which means that the top of his isolette is no longer closed and he is living in a "real world" environment.  This means he is able to regulate his body temperature which is a good sign.  Jessie is still lagging Mark somewhat but she is coming along as well as expected.  Cathy has been spending more time with them now that her incision is healing well and she has bathed both of them several times.
We received some really great blankets this week - 2 from Barb Northrup and 2 from Jackie Schwartz.  You guys have no idea how much we used the blankets you made for Arthur and how much we appreciate the time and effort you have put into all of these blankets - Thank you, thank you and thank you.  We also got some nice things from Bob and Karen Murphy (our friends from Sunday breakfast).  In case you happen to see this Bob and Karen - Thank you.  Until next time...
