We're back at our hospital. I can't say enough about how happy I am. The doctors have already changed quite a few things about the boys' treatment and I have seen a huge improvement in just a few days.

The biggest difference about this hospital and the last (I still have so much to tell you about the final days at the other hospital) is that the people here care about the boys and us. They wanted us back here. They called several times a week to check on their progress and ask when they would be returned to them. (The other hospital never told us that.) The boys are called "our babies" when the nurses talk about how big they are or how much they've changed. They know the boys' names and recognize them! We are more than a "case" here. We are people. And they expect the boys to do well. It is wonderful.

Both boys are now in cribs and starting back up on nippling. (We had started working on this skill pre-surgery, but they lost a lot of what they had learned while they were recovering.)

I am feeling so much more optimistic now!
