Well Tuesday was another busy day that started with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that start with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name for comfort and healing. Paw Paw is still in the VA hospital as they are awaiting some results on whether to release him to go back home with Pat to Wardensville W.Va. either today or in the near future.
I headed out a little before 8 on my bike to the Rec. for close to two hours of pickle ball play before heading home to hand watering the gardens before leaving for Brandon around 10:30 to help with caring for the twin boys. Katie has her hands full with them especially when both are awake and need feeding or diaper changing immediately. Both of them are gaining weight but still have a terrible reflux issue especially little Huck. Both suffer from this issue, but Huck seems to have it the worst. We managed to give Katie a couple hours rest after arriving but she still pumps every couple of hours so she never gets more than 3 hours at a time to completely sleep. She is holding up quite well with her cat naps and a couple hours at a time when the boys actually sleep.
We fed and changed many diapers throughout the morning and afternoon and even managed to take them out for a walk in the stroller. They did great at times but loved being held as we helped to spoil them whenever. Their little tummy's would hurt them from time to time and there wasn't much we could do but rub and rock them. Nancy made a nice casserole and we brought a salad for our supper and then I headed out to the ball field to watch Gabe play a scrimmage match. He actually pitched one inning and did quite well giving up no runs as well as scored twice after getting on base. It was close to 9 before I got back to the house and I decided to spent the night as Nancy was already scheduled to stay since Bobby was in Arizona for his job. He should be back in town tonight so there will be two adults to help with the boys care. There definitely needs to be two adults when both boys are in full awake manner and are crying for a bottle or the breast.
One of Katie's friends came back this morning to actually give Nancy and I chance to run to McDonalds for some coffee and breakfast foods. We will help throughout this day as the boys have an appointment in the afternoon with the GI doctor in hopes for some stronger meds to help with the reflux, anyhow we will head back to Seminole sometime after their appointment later in the day, LATER
