Then they realized they were equally fascinated with a Mylar balloon and played with that for awhile:

Gavin was happy to see Evie, even though he realized that he would have to share me again.

Gavin gently hugged Evie a couple times today, but she just started crying. (Admittedly, she did that even before the surgery.) Today she seemed sad and lethargic. She didn't eat a lot and just wanted to be held. Auntie Di and Uncle Kevin were here to help out.

"Your heart's over on this side of your chest? Cool, Evie!"

Evie liked having Auntie Di comb her hair:

Uncle Kevin fed Evie through her NG tube, since she wasn't too interested in her bottle. I'm under pressure to get those calories in her again!

Francis and I both got about 90 minutes of sleep last night. The kids didn't sleep well, Evie spat up twice and tried to pull out her cannula, Gavin fought going to sleep and then woke up and fought it again, and Francis had to drive to a pharmacy in Joliet to get one of Evie's meds. But tomorrow is a new day, and I am just so relieved to have Evie home.

What a blessing to have Auntie Di and Uncle Kevin helping! Night, Night all. Sleep tight.

Welcome back, Evie. You'll be back to your perky self in no time.

Hi Sharon and Fran,
What you're noticing in the twins' adjustment to each other makes a lot of sense to me. What infant brain researchers have concluded is that until the age where children are verbal, say around 2 or older, they have a different way of remembering and perceiving. Their memories have more to do with body memory than conceptual memory like we use most of the time, so connecting via the balloon would make sense.
If you don't have a consultant about helping Evie when she seems sad, I'd be happy to share some ideas with you, just let me know.
love to all, "aunty" jan
