They didn't have transport for him today though, so most likely tomorrow (Tuesday.. which wait, is now today, since it's after midnight....)
Our priest came to the hospital today and baptized Jack. It really made me feel better, like he's a little more looked after by heaven now. One of my most consistent prayers has been to the Blessed Mother (she and I,we have a special relationship, well to me we do anyway, I have a very strong love for Mary and always have) - anyway, I've been praying to her specifically every night to watch over Jack and love him and take care of him as a mother when I can't be there, to please, comfort him and keep him safe and protected. Today Father Ed said almost exactly what I had been praying in his prayer over Jack - he asked the Blessed Mother to be another Mother to him, and watch over him. It was like, he had been listening in on my silent prayers, and made me know that she is doing just that.
We're doing okay. Girls are grumpy (constipated, stupid formula, I just have not been making enough milk) and my poor neglected cat has scratched a huge patch of his hair off. PJ has chewed away all his fingernails and I've eaten about 12 pounds of leftover Halloween candy. So at least we're all a mess together.
Still though, PJ said tonight despite all the stress and tears and everything, this is the happiest he's ever been in his whole life. And I know what he means. Imagine how happy we will be when Jack comes home, and we're all together.
In the meantime, these two entertain us.
I mean come on, you gotta admit, they're pretty freaking cute. Though I might be biased. :)

Thanks for the update.. I know today will be hard and very bittersweet leaving the nurses and doctors who have cared so well for Jack. CHOP is amazing, and Jack is in EXCELLENT hands.. just keep talking to the Blessed Mother.. she's watching.
Again, anyting you need, please don't hesitate to call.

I'm glad that they accepted him to CHOP. And at the same time my heart breaks into a million tiny pieces fro you that you have to walk away from your girls. I know that feeling ALL too well.
As for the girls constipation issues... We battled this INCESSANTLY with not only the triplets but the twins as well. It seems I just make babies with pooping problems! Jack-Jack always needed a little help in the pooping process, his biggest helper was a daily dose of prune juice diluted. It was a miracle juice for him. The girls found a lot of help in Karo syrup mixed with water. ALL of the kiddos found Baby's Bliss Gripe Water to be VERY helpful. I'm not positive that this aided in the constipation problems, but it did help A LOT with gas pains and tummy aches. I would buy it in bulk on Drugstore.com, it seemed to be the cheapest there.
We are praying so hard for you... Much love and thoughts!!
I am glad they accepted him at Children's, it's a great facility and he will be in excellent hands. The girls are just beautiful and before you know it, they'll all be home together.
Continued prayers and vibes to all of you.

I am so glad they accepted Jack at CHOP. It truly is the best hospital. Thank you for keeping us update. I truly am amazed by the two of you. You are both so strong. I will keep you all in my prayers. I wish Baby Jack a speedy recover and home with his sisters.

God bless all of you! I think about you all the time and I pray that your little boy will be home soon. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
The photos of the girls are so cute! I'm so glad Jack will be getting the best care possible as well. On Sunday I lit a candle in church for him (and you all!) asking St. Gerard and the Blessed Mother to watch over him. Stay strong Megan!
