Day 4
So here we are on day four. I sit with Angela in the room where she’s lived for the past 2 months. We’re eagerly anticipating her discharge today. This room is so full of stuff. Its gonna take me half the day to pack it all up. She’s doing well and she’s ready to go home. I’m ready to take her home.
As for the kids. Everyone is still doing very well. Its day 4 now, but we haven’t been over to Children’s yet today to check on them, but we did call over there for an update on how they did over night. We know that everyone is doing well so lets back up to yesterday where Angela and I spent a lot of time in the NICU with the kids. We did not hold any of them, but we did do a lot of touching. The kids really like the physical contact so we often put our hands over their body or let them hold one of our fingers. The staff is letting us do some things as well. I checked Madeline’s temp and changed her diaper.
Dad's first Qunit diaper change.
The long and short of it is that all of them are doing well and progressing nicely. We’ve been blessed, but this is nowhere close to over. Please keep your prayers and happy thoughts coming for the kids.
By the way…Meredith is doing awesome too. Angela’s mom has been staying all week to help out. We’re really looking forward to seeing her playing in her little baby pool in the backyard tonight.
So glad to hear that things are still going so well and that Angie will be home soon. If there is anything…and we mean anything we can do don’t hesitate to ask. I stopped to see your mom and the little princess yesterday morning and Meredith seemed so happy to be in her own house. She just seems to know that the whirlwind is at least slowing down.

Heath and Angela,
CONGRATULATIONS x five! Wow! What a blessing! Glad to hear they are all doing well and that Angela is able to finally go home! We have been keeping you in our prayers. Heath, I am impressed to see that you had changed a diaper! Your cousin, Dave, took our child across town to his mom to have her change a diaper when he first babysat!
We had a granddaughter born the same day as your quintuplets! What an exciting day!:)
Hope all continues to go well for all of you.
Love,
Joyce Sipma
So happy for you guys. Glad everyone is doing well and Angela is coming home. Heath, I love the Iowa shirt:)
CONGRATS again and again!! We are so happy all is going well and hope that Angie was able to go home today. I am sure that will be a glorious time for her! Good Luck on getting all of her stuff out of the room – I am sure that will mean quite a few elevator trips!
Again, we are so happy for you and we are coming up to the cities over the 4th, so you never know we might have to check in on those babies!
Take Care and know all of Rocky is cheering for you and very happy all is going so well.
Love the blog, keep the news coming! Dale and Vicki
