Wanted To Introduce Myself And My Boys

I'm Teri. I'm a single mom of 3 awesome boys. All have chronic health issues, but all are beautiful and fairly well behaved. My oldest is Brandon. He's got the best dimples and brown eyes I've ever seen. He's tall and skinny. He's 10 yrs old. He's very creative. He's in 5th grade. Michael is the second born, middle child. He weighed in at 5 pounds 9 ounces, born one minute before his twin. He has hemophilia b, which creates it's own interesting twist to life (My oldest does too). He's got this captivating smile and laugh. He really enjoy's life. He has big round blue eyes, and chubby cheeks. He's a walker and talker. He is infamous in our region as the youngest baby to get RSV. He was 7 days old. Which basically means he got it while in the hospital. He spent two weeks in the hospital for that. Matthew is the baby of the family. Loves being the baby... hugged and cuddled, carried everywhere. He came into the world weighing 4 pounds 11 ounces. He almost immediately was transferred to the NICU an hour and a half from home. And was soon transferred to the bigger more specialized nicu in Boston children's hospital. He wasn't expected to live. He ended up on ECMO. That is a heart lung bypass machine. Unfortunately they have to keep their blood from clotting and caused him several brain bleeds. Mostly small, but there were so many he's got a seizure disorder from it, and is learning delayed. They're checking into a diagnosis of cerbral palsy. He has just begun sitting. He's 13 and a half months old. He's the whiner but even that isn't a common thing with him. So I know he's sick when that happens.

It's nice to meet other twin mommies.
