Thanks to the watchful eyes and caring hands of the staff at Sparrow Hospital&#8217;s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit &#8211; and lots of prayers by all of us &#8211; both little guys are home and doing very, very well. Elijah, a genuine chowhound, has more than doubled his birth weight, while Lukas is taking a more moderate approach to eating , weighing just under seven pounds.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/11july\/dedyne4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nLittle Owen is doing equally well &#8211; after arriving with more than a little prodding late in the evening, June 26. The bundle of joy weighed seven pounds, and measured 20-1\/2 inches with exceptionally long fingers and toes &#8211; and some pretty good lungs which both mom and dad say he thoroughly enjoys exercising during baths and diaper changes.<br \/>\nOur new trio are loved by all &#8211; a multiple blessing for multiple families.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/11july\/dedyne3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nElijah and Lukas are the sons of Brent Gaffney and Carrie Guevara Gaffney, joining their little sister, Gabby, and older sister and brother, Gwen and Caleb.
