First Day

Thank you all for your prayers, calls, e-mails and flowers. They are so very much appreciated.

Ali is doing great, feeling good and starting to move around slowly. She got over to see the girls twice today at Children's.

I was able to go on rounds with the Dr while she checked out the girls; she just kept saying they look fabulous. She said that all 3 girls have mildly underdeveloped lungs so they need a little Oxygen for assistance. She also said that they typically will get a little worse before they get better, pray that we miss the getting worse part or that it is very minimal. The girls are very tired and sleep a lot. We are able to hold their hands, rub their backs, etc. while they are in the isolettes. Once they are off the oxygen we will be able to hold them and they will be moved out of the NICU and over to the special care nursery at Abbott to work on holding body temp and gaining weight.

We are so excited to be on to the next part of the journey and can't wait for you all to meet the Jonswold Triplets. They are gorgeous!

All 3 girls are brunettes right now with full heads of hair. Ali is already threatening to start dyeing them blond...

Thank you all again for everything and please continue the prayers as we start the next part of the journey.

We will continue to update as we move along.

Peter, Ali and M. L. B.
