I spent the night with Denise last night. We had a nice time...watched a funny romantic comedy with her Mr. Dreamy Matthew McConaughey (don't quote me here on the spelling)... Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Denise's mom brought Jackson down this afternoon for a visit. He was very happy to see his mommy. He doesn't quite get it why mommy has to stay at the hospital. He was very concerned about Denise's IV lines...and Denise made it very simple...the Magnesium is Apple Juice for the babies.

Dr. Humphreys, one of the perinatologists, confirmed our minimum expectations this morning....Denise will be in the hospital for at least three (3) more weeks on the Magnesium. They want to get her to 32 weeks..and I know we can do it!

The Magnesium though is taking its toll...Denise is experiencing more headaches and she feels "foggy." She is a trooper though...whatever it takes to get us to 32 weeks. The staff there is so supportive. Denise though is looking forward to Dr. Wilstrup's visit tomorrow.

Kenny Hobb's wife Jenny (Kenny is my Nike Golf Rep.) stopped by and visited Denise this evening. She works in the NICU there at Winnie Palmer. She was kind enough to set up a tour of the NICU for Denise's mom this evening. We have so many people looking out for us. My mom is coming down to help out for a short time...she will be here Tuesday thru Sunday...and then back again for almost a month in November. We are doing our best to keep Jackson's life as sane and normal as possible.

Keep the prayers and happy thoughts coming! It truly means a lot to us!
