Ren's Back!

Happiness!

Sup?

Outta my way!

Braddahs!

Coming back from Hawaii, Ren caught a cold and had to be admitted into the ICU....again. He didn't have any fever and didn't need any more medication to get rid of his cold. He simply needed oxygen and breathing treatments to help with respiratory issues. He was in the hospital for three days and was discharged this past Saturday. While in Hawaii, they scheduled his cath and Glenn surgery and gave daddy all the dates so he could coordinate it with both work scheduals. But since being in the hospital, his cath on Thursday is postponed to make sure that all of the respiratory illness is gone. The cardiologist feels that Ren needs to be in "top shape" to have the next surgery and with a respiratory illness, it just makes the surgery and recovery that much more risky. So here we go again....time is what Ren needs to heal and make his lungs stronger for the next step. Mommy and daddy really want to come home soon but know that we just need to do what we need to do in order for our family to be whole again in Hawaii. I guess that's why God made it possible for us to come home for two weeks to rejuv for the next adventure. It was a taste of what to look forward to after the surgery is over and done with. Until the results of the cath, we will post the results and when a date is set for the Glenn.

Spa day at home in Hawaii!

Rhys: Eh braddah can I have some of your binky?
Ren: Sharing is caring!

Our prayers were answered and on July 4th, daddy's bday, the whole family jumped on the next flight to Hawaii. Mommy cried on take off tears of joy! Daddy was just happy that mommy was happy! Ren and Rhys did well on the flight. Ren didn't even need his oxygen. I guess Ren knew that he was going home. Rhys always does good on flight. He's such a curious baby!

When we finally got home it was chaos! Every night for 14days the boys had visitors. It was a Thanksgiving feast the whole time. Everyone was so excited to finally meet the twins. Mommy took care of all of her doctors appointments and grandma Miyasaki and grandma Takamoto helped watch the boys. The trip was the best thing we ever did. In Hawaii, Ren's breathing got better, Rhys started eating more, and mommy finally got to sleep in her own bed! She forgot where she was when she woke the next day. Sigh, there's no place like home. Then with a blink of an eye, the trip was over and we were back on the plane bound for LA, our second home. Now our family is ready for the next stage....the Glenn. The cardiologist scheduled the cardiac cath on the 30th. We have a consult with the surgeon on the 10th of August and the Glenn procedure on the 13th. Then recovery and then we cAn come home for the next 3 to 5 years.

We appreciate all the help here in LA and in Hawaii. Our family couldn't have gotten this far without everyones love and support. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
