From Tracey:
All – Jordan is back in the hospital due to a low-grade fever. Please pray for him and Amy. Will update as I get more details!

We’re all home now and settling in. It seems that the routine that we developed in the hospital needs to be relearned at home. I’ll get you some more photos soon, but in the meantime here is a video of Jesse and Noah’s departure from the hospital.

Rachel is doing great and everyone was cleared to go home. Jesse had a slightly elevated bilirubin count which put him at risk for hepatitis and both of them had lost a little too much weight, but they are doing much better and the doctor cleared them to go home. So after a short three day stay in the hospital everyone is ready to come home.

A word about the hospital. Sharp Mary Birch is an unbelievably well run machine. For the most part all of the nurses and staff were great. They helped Rachel get used to breast feeding and gave us all of the basic tools to be able to go home without missing a beat in caring for the boys. One of the volunteers even snagged me a better pull-out bed to sleep on from another room. In all, we had a great experience and as crappy as Rachel felt after surgery, I can’t imagine a better hospital stay. It helped that the purpose of the hospital stay was babies and not open-heart surgery, but I think you know what I mean.
