Events from the past 2 weeksSo the past two weeks has not been without some events. On the Monday that Kelly and I were supposed to drive the babies down south from Burlington, we went to the cardiologist prior to getting on the road only to find a small pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart) at the posterior aspect of the heart. Hudson was not showing any symptoms. She delayed our trip for the day, and called it stable the following day, allowing us to make the drive. We had a great 2 1/2 day trip to Nashville, and headed straight to Vanderbilt, where the effusion still seemed to be stable. Hudson continued to be asymptomatic. Kelly and I visited the house in Huntsville on Saturday to find that the unattended workers had made a disaster zone of our new house. Since all seemed stable, I stayed in Huntsville to be a contractor on our house for the next 2-3 days. His follow-up cardiology appointment on 7/7 found the effusion to be a bit bigger, still with no symptoms. On Tuesday 7/8, Kelly noticed that Hudson's breathing seemed labored. She took him to the ER to find that the effusion had shifted over the left ventricle, which was causing compression. I came up from Huntsville, and it was absolutely providential that my dad had just decided to come to Huntsville that morning, so that he could take over supervising the workers in Huntsville. Hudson was admitted to the CICU at Vanderbilt on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday morning, he began to have an arrhythmia (atrial flutter). They tried to get him back to sinus rhythm for about 2 hours with various meds and D/C cardioversion (shocking his heart) 3 times with it finally converting to normal rhythm. He subsequently underwent an open surgery Wednesday afternoon to relieve the effusion and place a drain around the heart. His recovery has been good since the surgery. We have been cleared for transfer from the CICU to the floor this morning. <br />
<br />
Throughout all of this, our family has been indispensable (as if they were dispensable before). While I was in Huntsville, the two sets of Nashville grandparents have really helped Kelly divide and conquer with the four kids. Even more, once Hudson was admitted to the hospital, these grandparents have become the sole caretakers of our kids. My dad remains in Huntsville as my contractor. I don't know what we would do without all of the help they have provided! <br />
<br />
God has also taken care of us with the moving logistics as our moving truck was supposed to arrive on Tuesday 7/8, but has now been delayed until Sunday 7/13. We are hoping that Hudson will be discharged by this time. Taylor and Will are definitely ready for our family to reunite, and all of us are ready for some normalcy. I don't know how far away that will be, but please pray that God will continue to give Kelly and I strength and patience. We both are feeling a bit numb at this point, reacting day by day to whatever is thrown at us. If you get a chance, please pray for the following:<br />
<br />
1) that Hudson would continue to be stable, that his recovery would be without any events, and that this would be the final surgery for him to have a functional heart.<br />
2) that Taylor and Will would continue to understand why we have to be separated right now, and that God would give them patience and strength.<br />
3) for strength for our parents as they complete this marathon of taking care of our kids. We know they are exhausted!<br />
4) that God would revive Kelly and I's hearts, so that each day we would be able to see his mercies afresh and allow us to trust that he is still holding us all in his hand and in absolute control.<br />
5) for our house in Huntsville, that all of the renovation tasks would move toward completion in a timely manner so that we would be able to have a peaceful environment in Huntsville once we finally move.<br />
<br />
Thank you for prayers and support! We love you all, and will continue to keep you posted.<br />

It's been a crazy week, but we wanted to do a quick post with some new pictures. We were discharged on Sunday and made it back to Burlington late Sunday night. The kids were ecstatic to see the babies the next morning! Brett's boards are actually today (Friday), so he has been intensely studying all week. We have the packers coming tomorrow and the movers coming Monday, so in between taking care of little ones, I've been trying to get things prepared! Hence, this is why I'm just now doing a blog post!</div>

Brett and I both agree that Boston seems like one big dream. We are having a hard time wrapping our heads around everything, but are very thankful (and a little shocked) that we are to this point! Thank you again to everyone for your prayers... He heard them and answered them! Please continue to pray for Hudson- that he would gain weight and continue to have normal endocrine levels. Also, we would appreciate prayers for the kids in this big transition time of new babies and moving to Huntsville. </div>

Hudson continues to make strides. Calcium has normalized, he's eating great, and he just had his first documented weight gain last night. His demeanor is starting to calm a bit (I think he was just a little mad from being starved in the CICU!) We are gearing up to probably go back to Burlington tomorrow. He's looking forward to being able to get some full naps without interruption (He said his first words yesterday, which were "stop bothering me." We thought that was a good sign). Sweet Harper is also doing very well, eating and sleeping on schedule. Still a sleepy baby. Again, all thanks and praise be to God for seeing us through this journey. We have felt his hand guiding us all every step of the way.<br />

Hudson continues to race towards discharge. All of his tubes and even IV's are out! He is taking full feedings, and we are really just waiting on him to gain a little weight. His calcium levels were completely normal this morning, which completely surprised most of the docs and staff around here! They are talking about a possible weekend discharge! </div>

Taylor and Will left to go back to Burlington around noon today, but Kelly and I had a really sweet 24 hours with them while they were here. Some tears were shed last night, but both kids seem to be comprehending the situation and understanding that we have "1 more week" to go. We could not be more thankful for the mental position that they are in, and for all of the comfort, support, and stability that their grandparents have provided for them over the past 4-5 weeks.</div>

It's been a bit of a whirlwind, but thank you for your continued prayers. Today is postop day 6, and we are really thankful for Hudson's continued progress, and for God's faithfulness amidst my skepticism. Most of the last two days have been really slow progress, and then a sprint here in the last 12 hours! To catch you up, we waited for him to start breathing enough to remove his breathing tube for all of postop day 4. He had met the milestone to remove it by the end of that day, but it was too late in the day to remove it. After much anticipation for all of yesterday (postop day 5), he finally had the breathing tube removed late yesterday, and started bottle feeds last night! This morning his final chest tube and central line came out, and he has now gone to the step-down unit!! He is making amazing progress, despite our impatience. Please pray that Kelly and I and family would trust God with his timing, and know that every event is in His perfect timing according to His perfect faithfulness. As for Hudson, he has some calcium imbalances that we are still trying to figure out what's causing it, with a possible issue with his parathyroid gland. Please pray that God would allow them to find a root cause sooner than later (my impatience again), and/or that it would correct itself over the next few days now that he has started breastmilk again. <br />
<br />
On a different note, Taylor and Will have come into town this morning to meet their new brother and sister for the first time. Please pray that their level of comprehension of the situation would be enough for them to understand why our family has to continue to be separated for the next week or two (especially Will).<br />
<br />

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time . . .<br />
<br />
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.<br />
<br />
Matthew 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?<br />

He is almost completely off of sedation, yet still seems quite comfortable (as Jesus's swaddle should be!) His alertness has really increased. His blood pressure is becoming more stable with less dependence on his meds. He is still trying to wean off of the vent, and could possibly be extubated tomorrow (false-expectation that I gave you 2 days ago). Hopefully he will get one of the tubes out of his chest, which will be good since they're half the size of his little chest and may be hindering his breathing due to pain. We are also really excited that he got to start breastmilk through a feeding tube today!<div>
<br /></div>

Matthew 19:14-15 but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." And he laid his hands on them...</div>

I want to thank everyone again for the much prayer and support that we continue to receive. We continue to be strengthened daily by you all. Philemon 1:7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.</div>

stable and his sugars were excellent, and he was able to come off of insulin
completely. They discontinued the muscle relaxer around 7:00 pm. Since then, he has been
slightly moving his arms and legs, and has even tried to open his eyes a few times (but they are too swollen). He continues to stay on a low dose Lasix to start decreasing the
swelling. The chest drains have very little output, and one may come out tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, our sweet Harper girl and I got discharged yesterday. Here are some pictures of her right before we left the hospital. <br />

He got to the CICU last night around 9 pm, and we finally got to see him around 11 pm. God's peace was definitely with us...both Kelly and I thought we should be feeling more emotion than we were, but it all honestly seemed like a dream as we saw and touched our little boy. The surgeon said the repair went well, and that the ventricular septal defect was a very difficult one to repair, but that he got the job done. He said the coronary transfer was without issue, which is the most common postoperative complication. We were very thankful that Dr. Pigula was able to close his chest (since it has to stay open in almost 1/2 of these cases for at least a couple of days). Hudson will stay under anesthesia and muscle relaxer through tonight, and will start to wean anesthesia and possibly extubate tomorrow. He is on some medicine now to keep his blood pressure up appropriately. His blood pressure is a bit volatile, so please pray that this would stabilize soon. He has three drains in place, and two that are still actively draining a moderate amount of blood. </span> Please pray that this bleeding would stop very soon. His nurse today said that he is experiencing the "12 hour crash," which commonly occurs about 12 hours postop. Please just pray that he would make much progress tonight, and be able to be extubated tomorrow. We continue to be sustained beyond our understanding, and are very thankful for God's presence with us. We know he is holding Hudson in his arms as well.<br />

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.<br />

We are very thankful that there was an opening in the schedule so soon (because this morning it looked like they weren't going to be able to do it until possibly next week). Dr. Pigula and his team will perform an arterial switch procedure with repair/closure of Hudson's VSD. The surgical time averages around 6 hours. Again, please pray for the team's endurance, concentration, and steadiness, and wisdom in their surgical decisions. Obviously tomorrow will be a tough day for everyone, so please pray that we would all be able to trust God, receive patience from Him, and be filled with a spirit of peace.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kelly woke up this morning feeling much better, fever gone, but she is still in a lot of pain. She's being treated for endometritis. However, despite this, it's been a good day with both babies. Because they didn't think that the surgery would be until later, Hudson got to breastfeed for the first time, and did really well. That was good to see since he probably won't get to traditionally feed again for at least another 4 days after surgery, and has to be NPO after midnight. Harper is also doing very well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We'll try to keep the blog updated with new news as it arrives tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's prayer and support!</div>

We are very happy to welcome our little boy, Hudson Brett weighing 6 lbs 3 oz, 19 in, and our new baby girl, Harper Adeline weighing 6 lb 7 oz, 19 in. Hudson was born with a vigorous cry, Apgars 8/8, and had no signs of low oxygen! His oxygen saturation has not dropped below 94% since he was born! This means that he did not need an atrial septostomy (which we were very thankful for!). He had his neonatal echocardiogram to further diagnose his heart defects soon after he was born, and the preliminary interpretation was double outlet right ventricle (instead of transposition of great arteries) with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Therefore, he was able to stop prostaglandins tonight! We will hear more word on a specific surgical plan tomorrow. Harper has been doing great with several excellent feedings.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Amidst all of the many blessings, Kelly is exhausted, in much pain, and has a fever that followed postpartum hemorrhage during delivery. Due to these setbacks, she has not been able to visit Hudson except for about 30 seconds in the OR right after delivery. Please pray for:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">1) Kelly, that she could get some quality sleep tonight, that God would quickly heal her, and that she would be able to truly experience the joy of her babies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">2) Hudson's and Harper's support (Kel's mom, my parents, Kelly, and myself) that we would be able to coordinate an optimal system to give these babies the support they both need during the tough time ahead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">3) and praise to God because he has delivered his tender, loving mercies once again.</span><br />

We are almost there! I will be induced early tomorrow morning at Brigham and Women's Hospital and we are hoping the twins will arrive by mid-day. I was told to be prepared for a large crowd for the delivery... between the different medical teams, there will be at least 15 people in the room! It is comforting to know that we will be in good hands. I had several doctor appointments this past week in Boston, and they are predicting Hudson to be around 6 pounds, 4 ounces and Harper to be 6 pounds, 10 ounces. We are extremely thankful that we have made it this far and that they will hopefully be big and strong when they arrive!<br />
<br />
I am also thankful that Brett will drive into Boston today and be by my side for the delivery (yay for not going into labor without him)! My mom has been wonderful to have with me in Boston... she's been wheeling me around, carrying luggage, hailing taxi's, fetching food, and letting me just rest a bunch (which I'm sure has made her stir-crazy), all while sleeping in a 'bed' that's really a chair at night and not complaining! She's a trooper. We move into a furnished apartment today for a couple weeks, so I'm glad she will have a proper bed tonight! <br />
<br />
Please pray for a smooth delivery tomorrow. Hudson will be delivered first and then they will perform a breech extraction to deliver Harper. Please pray that goes smoothly. We've been told we will hopefully get to hold Hudson long enough to take a quick picture and then he will immediately go to the NICU for<span class="st"> IV prostaglandin and be closely monitored to ensure he does not need an immediate balloon septostomy (please pray he won't need this). He will then be transferred likely within an hour to Boston Children's Cardiac ICU and have a full echocardiogram to ensure they know exactly what is going on. Then, hopefully, we will schedule his heart surgery within a few days. Thank you again everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Obviously, this has been a journey for us and is far from over, but honestly, the Lord has sustained us, given us peace and comfort, and allowed us to be so thankful for what we have.</span><br />

Last night was a tough one for Taylor and Kelly with lots of tears shed as they said their goodbyes to each other. Will took it pretty well. Things were much brighter this morning. At the bus stop Taylor assessed the situation for Kelly, and reassured her that our situation is a lot simpler than we thought. She said "Mommy, you have four things to do. Drive to Boston, deliver the babies, have the doctors figure out what's wrong with Hudson's heart, and drive home." Isn't a child's perspective a beautiful thing? </span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Kelly and I were very surprised and excited to find out that we were pregnant with twins, boy and girl, Hudson and Harper, in November. We discovered by ultrasound in February that Hudson has a somewhat rare heart condition called transposition of the great arteries (TGA). This is a condition where the artery that feeds deoxygenated blood to his lungs to be oxygenated, and the artery that transports oxygenated blood to the rest of his body, are reversed in their position. Thankfully, Hudson also has a hole between the lower chambers of his heart that will allow the oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, thereby allowing his body to receive some oxygenated blood, and allowing his lungs to oxygenate some deoxygenated blood. This hole will hopefully allow Hudson some time to 'rest' without surgical intervention immediately upon birth. However, both the vessels and the hole will need to be corrected surgically in his first week of life. This is called an 'arterial switch' procedure. It is an open-heart surgery where the 2 vessels will be transected, along with the coronary arteries, and moved back to the correct sides of the heart. The hole will also be repaired. We are very thankful to be in Vermont right now, and to be only 4 hours away to Boston Children's Hospital, which is one of the top two places in the world to have major pediatric cardiac surgery! We are also very thankful that this condition was diagnosed while he was still in utero (while he doesn't need his lungs) so that we are fully informed and can plan (like we love to do) for what he will face upon birth.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We are also extremely grateful to have such supportive family, friends, and co-workers provide so many needs during this time. Our family started taking shifts in helping around the house and with the kids one week ago, and will continue all the way through Hudson's recovery. Our delivery in Boston is scheduled for <span class="" tabindex="0"><span class=""><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">June 9th and</a></span></span> Hudson is supposed to have his surgery anywhere between 2-7 days after birth, with recovery typically lasting 2-3 weeks. So far both Hudson and Harper have been growing great. They were around 4.5 pounds 3 weeks ago, which should put them around 6 pounds now if all is still on track. Kelly is 36 weeks today, which we are thrilled about. Anything after this point is just bonus! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A few other events (that seem relatively minor) that will be going on in the same month are my written subspecialty boards <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://5" x-apple-data-detectors-result="5" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on </a><span class="" tabindex="0"><span class=""><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://5" x-apple-data-detectors-result="5" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">June 27</a></span></span>, and our move to Huntsville, AL, which is slated for early July whenever Hudson is cleared to go 'home'. I'll then start my new job in August. So many logistics are not and cannot be worked out right now due to the unknown. The situation is forcing us to accept that we are not in control, and a constant reminder to us that we never were. It has forced us toward the One who is in total control, and reminded us that His hand is steady, His love is great, and His mercies are unending. Indeed, we can already see God's mercies in these events as he has already drawn us nearer to himself, and has had great patience with our anxiety and fears. He's also given both Kelly and I a peace that is completely beyond ourselves.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Below are some specifics that we would love prayer for:</span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1) The nerves of all family before and leading up to the delivery, <b><u>that we would trust God</u> </b>with whatever surprises that he will lay in our arms, and would fill us with<b><u>thanksgiving instead of fear</u>.</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2) that <u><b>Kelly</b></u> would be <u><b>clear-headed </b></u>once the babies are born, <u><b>and would know her physical limits</b></u> in taking care of her two babies that are at separate hospitals while she is recovering from the delivery. And that God would give her peace and rest during the times allotted for rest.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3) for <b><u>Kelly and Brett's communication and relationship</u> </b>amidst a host of helpful family members...that they would be able to remain a strong team and stay connected.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4) for <b><u>Taylor and Will</u>,</b> that they would have a <u><b>spirit of understanding and excitement</b></u>about their new brother and sister, and that they would feel loved and not threatened by the whole situation.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">5) for the <u><b>surgeon and OR staff</b></u> that perform the arterial switch procedure, that they<u><b>will be focused</b></u> with no distractions, <u><b>and that God would orchestrate all logistics</b></u> in favor of a 'flawless' surgery.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6) for <b><u>Hudson, that he be calmed by the peace of God</u> </b>while he is recovering, that he feels the warmth and closeness of God directly when while he is bedridden and his mommy and daddy aren't able to give him this comfort by holding him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">7) that the <u><b>feedings for both Hudson and Harper</b></u> would be optimal, and that Kelly would be able to meet and even exceed the demands of both babies.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #38761d;"> Finally, it was time for Kindergarten at Orchard School! Taylor was so excited about going to school and was also thrilled with the idea of riding the bus. The day before her first day, we went to open house and got to meet Mrs. Garland and see her classroom. She wasn't nervous at all- just excited. Her mother, on the other hand, was a bit of an emotional mess, but I hid it well with large sunglasses.</span></div>

Since moving to Vermont, we haven't really gone on a road trip, because we are usually flying back down south for our vacations. We were really looking forward to an airport-free trip! It was so refreshing to not have the pressure of fitting everything into a tiny suitcase or worrying about the size of my toiletries. The kids loved being in the car... between all the toys, books, loveys, and movies we brought, they were very content. Brett and I could actually see everything we wanted in peace! Here was our first stop- the town of Ogunquit in southern Maine. We had a lot of fun walking around Perkins Cove, eating lobster rolls and ice cream, and seeing some of the little shops. The kids were also fascinated with the draw bridge. </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"> The Hampton Inn where we stayed had 2 giant water slides that Taylor went down about a thousand times. They were actually very fast and kind of scary to me! One of them was totally enclosed so it was pitch dark flying down. This is the best picture I could get of her coming down them... she's a blur.</span></div>

Taylor thought long and hard, and decided she wanted an Under the Sea/Little Mermaid water party. She had 8 friends come over and they had a great time together! I am still hearing the Little Mermaid soundtrack in my head- we had "Under the Sea" on repeat for 2 hours at the party! </span><br />

My mom then came to see us after that!</span></div>
