Hey everybody--I'm Betsy, mom to 27-weeker boy fraternal twins, Dennis and Conan. They were born suddenly in November--I had been on BR for PTL, but my cervix was always high & closed when I went in for my weekly checks. Dennis was in the NICU for 82 days and Conan was in for 90 days.

Conan has a grade IV IVH w/PVL on the right side of his brain, so he gets PT through EI once a week--we were lucky enough to find a Feldenkrais practitioner who is also a PT, and works with EI, so that was a big score! Dennis gets PT too for general stiffness and arching. Good to be here!

Welcome Betsy and your two boys!

DH was looking over my shoulder at your post and he is a pt. He said- Feldenkrais- that is so perfect for you situation. Thank God for that!

Congratulations Betsy and welcome! I love this forum and hope you do too!

Thanks for the welcome, everybody! Amy, Feldenkrais is the BOMB. It's working wonders with my boys.

I had 29 weeker frat boys last October -- sounds like your two are doing great!

Welcome! I have a 28 weeker born in November and getting EI too - how big are your boys? Joey is still so teeny - 11.5 pounds at her last check (10 days ago).

They're doing really well, thanks for asking! It's been a while since their last well-baby visit, but I think they're about 17 pounds or so...not sitting up or crawling, though. Conan is soooo close! Patience, right?
