Fostering a sharing and caring environment at home is nothing short of difficult. Especially for twins, who are often times expected to be each other’s best friends, expectations can be overwhelming.

The Doctors said he’d need to gain significant weight and continue developing while in the NICU. He was given a feeding tube and was put on a 2-hour feeding schedule. Everyone on the staff said, “Not to worry”. They assured us that he would do fine and before we knew it he’d be coming home with us. For the next 7 weeks my wife Petrina went to the hospital at least twice a day, sometimes three times. I worked, took care of the dog and cat, maintained the house, and visited my new son, Sam, as much as I could. I offered to relieve my wife on the weekends so she could get some rest, but she wasn’t having any of that. So we spent the weekends with Sam in the NICU, together.
