WIERSMA FAMILY BLOG
A glimpse into our lives as a family with micro-preemies. Our twins boys (Lovingly referred to as our Miracle Men) were born almost 16 weeks early.

Our journey continues when our son Max was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 3. This is his story....

Time for sleep!!

This is going to be a short post because Kate and I are exhausted and ready for a LONG night of sleep.  The boys had a good day.  They did attempt a "pick line" in Max today that did not go too well.  They decided to let him recover overnight and try again tomorrow.  It is possible that if they cannot get the line threaded through the veins in his arm that they will try a vein in his head.  We would rather they not do this because it would just seem odd to have a line threaded through a vein in his head down to his heart, but they are the experts and will only do it if they feel it will be the best for Max.  Wes had another brain ultrasound today and everything looked great, so we are super pumped about that.  Also, the boys are not next to each other in the nursery right now...their arrival was not entirely expected.  But, Max's neighbor was discharged today and they were planning on moving Wes over by his brother.  Kate and I are excited about this so we can sit closer to each other too as we normally have to take turns sitting by each of the boys because there is limited space at the bedsides.  It will feel good to have the "whole family" together again!!

It has been a long, crazy week, but the boys are doing good and we praise God for carrying Max and Wes and Kate and I through the first of what will likely be many many weeks.
