Welcome to the page for Emily, Madison, and Alexa. We are hoping to use this to communicate the happenings of our girls. Please note, time is limited so things may not be as quick as if you heard them by mouth from family.

NEWS JUST IN!!
Emily and Alexa will be moved to an open crib today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, July 30, 2004 8:18 AM CDT
Well all, not a lot to say yet. But feel I should mention that Alexa is having some troubles. She is having bradies (bradycardia - when the heart slows from 155 to below 90) and is desating (when her respiration goes from 100% to 34%, sometimes). This is happening more and more. I don't think that there is much to worry about at this time. But it is still scary to see.
Melissa is completly busy throughout the day. No time to think, eat, drink, talk, or anything else. She is constantly trying to breast feed, change diapers, check temperatures, and so on. She is also a little depressed and overwhelmed. I think much of it is that we are having a hard time trying to get away early enough to go to bed. Hopefully this weekend will allow us more time to sleep. That is what we did last weekend.
Please keep Melissa, Alexa, Madison, Emily, and I in your thoughts and prayers. God works in ways we can not even imagine, and I know that he will take care of us. But your prayers are still appreciated.
Thank you and God bless,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, August 2, 2004 9:28 AM CDT
Not much new to add yet. Weekend went semi-smooth. Alexa is still having Brady's and DSATS, but they have placed her on Zantac and Reglan (they are thinking that it is reflux). Madison is off of the Nasal Cannulas. Emily is about the same.
We are now in a room with 13 babies that is only equipt properly for 8.
All 3 girls gave me a gift for my birthday on Saturday. Dirty diapers each time I changed them. And to boot, they had just started and each time I thought they were finished they would start again. Laugh, guess daddy needed to get more experience before they come home.
Melissa took me out to LoneStar Steakhouse for my birthday. It was a nice time out. She told the waitress that it was my birthday, they sang to me.....At least I got a free piece of cake (which I shared with Melissa).
That is all for now,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, August 2, 2004 12:44 AM CDT
Emily - Going to try to do all feedings by mouth (bottle and breast).
Madison - Going to up her mouth feedings to 6 times a day.
Alexa - Doing better today, only 1 DSAT - 0 Bradies. Going to try bottlefeeding again today. Still on medicine to try and keep her from refluxing.
Dats all folks!!
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, August 3, 2004 12:38 AM CDT
Emily - 4lb 7oz
- Lowering her caloric intake from 30cal to 27cal
Madison - 3lb 13oz
- Staying the same, but still trying to increase feedings
Alexa - 4lb 8oz
- Raising her up a litre on the air/flow machine. That way, hopefully, they can get her back on room air and less dependant on the oxygen.
Dats all,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, August 4, 2004 4:32 PM CDT
Not really much to say today. Everything is about the same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday, August 7, 2004 12:46 AM CDT
Emily (Emma)- 4lbs 11oz. Is doing much better learning to bottle feed. The doctors mentioned that she might be able to come home on Monday, but have since decided that she isn't as ready as they thought. Could be another week or so.
Madison (Maddy or Maddie) - 4lbs 0oz. Is still in the ISOLET, but should go to a crib in a day or two.
Alexa (Lexi) - 4lbs 10oz. Is still on the nasal cannulas at 1 ltr, although she only had a few DSAT's and no bradies that we can recall. Doctors are gave her a diuretic (lasix) yesterday to pull some fluid off to help with her breathing and hopefully get her off oxygen. So far it is working because she has needed almost no oxygen all day today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday, August 8, 2004 10:48 PM CDT
Emily (Emma)- Had a really good day. She ate all of her feedings by bottle and none of her milk had to be fed to her by her feeding tube.
Madison (Maddy or Maddie) - Has been moved to an open crib like her sisters. She also did a little better feeding today. She ate one whole feeding by bottle (which she hadn't done before) and she took other feedings by bottle too, but got tired and had to have part of the feeding by her feeding tube.
Alexa (Lexi) - Was moved out of the "feeder, grower" part of the NICU yesterday because she was "desating" every time someone touched her and according to her nurse she turned blue at one point. They thought she might have an infection so they drew blood to do a blood culture and check her red and white blood counts, etc. They started antibiotics just in case. They stopped her bottle feedings temporarily and feed her entirely by her feeding tube to save her energy until they could find out what was wrong. Today the initial reports on the blood work did not show she had an infection. She is anemic and although they drag their feet on giving blood because they want her body to be able to replenish the blood on it's own, they gave her some blood anyway. She looks much much better and she isn't so touchy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, August 10, 2004 12:30 AM CDT
THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT EMILY IS COMING HOME ON THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, you heard me, Emily is being scheduled to come home on Thursday. The only problem is that when they lay her flat she starts DSAT'ing. So either we have to wait till she gets over that, or we prop her mattress up at home to mimic the raised level she is at at the hospital.
Madison - Still trying to feed her more. She isn't taking all of her feedings well, but we are working with that.
Alexa - Is back in the feeder/grower room, the IV has been removed from her head.

Monday, August 16, 2004 8:16 AM CDT
Emily has finally been released. We are now experiencing the joys and pains of parenthood. Most being joy, with the complication of lack of sleep. But it is worth it. Right?
Madison, is doing well, nothing much has changed.
Alexa, is doing better, less bradies and DSATS, and finally had the nasal cannulas taken off.
Mommy and daddy are dead on their feet. But are slowly making it work. Not sure what will happen when the other two come home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:29 AM CDT
Emily - just said da-da.
Madison - just started walking.
Alexa - just sang her first song.
Ok, now that I have your attention.
Emily - Took foods ok last night. Slept most of the night (besides waking up for feedings).
Madison - Doing better (I think), notmuch to report. Still having bradies.
Alexa - Still having bradies, but doing better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, August 19, 2004 4:17 PM CDT
Emily, went to her first doctors appointment. Daddy didn't go, had to work. She received 4 of her first shots, and we were told that we could let her sleep until she was hungry now, I guess we can wait about a whole 10 minutes longer than usual.
Madison, is looking better. Completly a daddy's girl. Loves to be held constantly, crys if daddy (or mommy) leaves the room. She took 2 full bottles yesterday.
Alexa, had a swallow test done today. They are working to correct her not eating properly and her reflux. Not really sure how all of that is going. Will find out tonight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, August 23, 2004 11:29 AM CDT
Emily had her shots done on Thursday. Made it an enjoyable weekend. Melissa is getting ready to take her to the doctor again. She has started having reflux, I am assuming. She has choked twice and stopped breathing. We had to suction her out to get her to breath again. Very scary situation. Doctor wanted to see her immediatly.
Alexa, still vomiting with rice added to food. Don't know. The swallow study came back negative on reflux. I am thinking that is not right.
Madison, is starting to become a handful. She is starting to wail more, and it takes someone holding her or placing her in a swing to calm her down.
That is all for now.
Thanks for the prayers.

As many of you heard, Emily had some problems over the weekend and early this week. On Friday and Sunday, she refluxed into her throat and choked. One of the times even started turning purple and blue. After the second time we contacted the PED Dr and asked for his thoughts. He wanted to see her on Monday. After the visit, Melissa called me up and we both went to Riley Hospital (GI Doc from Methodist on cruise). Riley emergency admitted us and did an Upper GI and a Centascan. The GI said that she did have reflux and told us to thicken her formula. They then discharged us on Tuesday. On Wednesday 1:15am, she choked again, and again turned blue. We called the PED doc and he told us to now go to Methodist Emergency room. We did that and at 9am they admitted her. After talking with the doctors and basically forcing them, we were able to get Emily on a Monitor to repeatedly check to make sure that her respitory and heart was doing ok. We also pursued a medication and was given a prescription. They released her on Wednesday. Last night went ok, but we were/are very short on sleep.
Emily - 5lb 10oz.
Has Reflux, we are filling the Prescription for Prevased, and is currently on a monitor.
Madison - 5lb 6oz.
Still trying to get her to eat.
Currently on prevased and reglan.
Alexa - 5lb 10oz.
Still trying to get her to eat.
Currently on prevased and reglan.
Refluxing bad.
Thats all for now folks. And please remember, I am a busy man and will try to update this as often as I am physically and mentally able.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers,
Scott

Wow, what a week and weekend we had. First with Emily going in and out of the hospital emergency rooms, then needing to set up a meeting of the minds for a care plan for the Alexa and Emily. Hopefully, we were able to take care of some the issues involving staffing issues and care that has been given to the girls from the beginning. Also we all discussed setting up a feeding plan for the girls. We have switched from Neosure to Enfamil AR, for the thinner texture that the preadded rice has. As of last night, it looks like it worked. As Madison took 30cc's of formula and Alexa took 30 cc's. Not sure how the second round went.
If anyone is dieing to buy stuff for the girls, we could use some more Newborn diapers, cute 3-6 month outfits (please nothing that I have to iron or dry clean), not sure what else yet, but I am sure that almost anything is ok to buy. Also, if you are wanting to help us out, no pressure here, we could use a good home cooked meal. (Mom, if you want to make a ham, I am sure that you would not hear any complaints from us.)
For all that are dieing to see the girls. We are still trying to keep visitors the minimum. It just makes it really hard to take the time to communicate what is going on, and answering the big question (when are Alexa and Madison going to be released). We are not doing this to upset anyone. We just would like to get them home first. After that we can set up small groups to come over and play with the babies (although be warned, we request you bring a main or side dish "Food is big on my mind as you can tell - fast food can only go so far, and obviously time is an issue with 3" or help with changes, feedings or whatever may need done. And in between, you will be able to play and hold and love on the girls.
Luv'n'you all,
Scott

Hello all,
We had a rough night last night, Emily decided to stay awake all night long. Daddy and Mommy are extremely tired and may need to readdmit Emily to the hospital just to get some sleep. Just kidding. Thankfully, my loving wife decided to stay up a good portion of the night and allow me to get some rest, before going to work the next day, but can't say that it helped me a whole lot. But a little is better than none.
Thank you to those that responded about the food. We really appreciate your willingness to help us out. I am so excited to actually get a chance to eat real food.
As for Alexa and Madison, they are still doing better. They have switched one of their medicines, unknow what was switched and to what. They are taking most of their bottles. One nurse actually said that we may be able to take them home the weekend of the 11th, but no promises.
Thank you all for being so kind as to giving us and the girls a little space. It does make a difference. I know that it is/was hard, but like me, you probably would like to see them home rather than stuck in the hospital longer.
For those that are upset at this, I am EXTREMELY SORRY. If I could have it both ways I would. Everyone knows that I love spending time with people. To me family and friends is one in the same, I love y'all.
Like I said, when the girls come home, you all will be able to come over. Except, I may try to schedule you a bit as there are a lot of people that want to see them. Please understand immediate family comes first (mommy and daddy time - 1 or 2 days - for bonding) then so on. But y'all get yer chance. I promise. No one will be left out, not on purpose at least. Not sure where my brain will be when the girls come home.
The road to recovery has been rough, and the days have been long, but with the love of my friends and family and the strength from God above, we have made it.
Someone once said if God can bring ya to it, he can bring ya through it. Amen! I really didn't believe it at first, it was so hard dealing with the pressures of nurses, doctors, and sickness, but look we are near the end. My angels, sent from God, are going to be coming home soon. Praise God!!
Again, thank you to everyone, Melissa and I appreciate all the prayers and support that you have given us. Someday, we hope to be able to repay you for your kindness.
Luv-n-y'all Lots,
Scott
Daddy to Emily, Alexa and Madison (06-27-04)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, September 3, 2004 9:32 AM CDT
Good Friday Mornign Y'all.
Hope everyone is doing well. The girls are doing well with taking their bottles. Not many problems. Alexa is still puking some of that up, but that is because of reflux. Found out the new medication that they gave both was one that numbs the throat so the reflux does not burn them so bad. Hopefully, it will work and all will be happier.
Emily slept throughout the night, only waking up for feedings. Mommy and Daddy was able to get some decent sleep. Hopefully we can get more this weekend.
The NICU is now over census again, and when that happened last time, we started having problems with nursing. I am praying that none of that happens again.
Well Good Night For Now,
Luv-n-hugs,
Scott Huffman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, September 7, 2004 10:57 AM CDT
Not much went on during the weekend. We overslept almost every day.
Emily - Still throwing up her formula every once in a while. But at least she is not choking and turning blue.
Alexa - Is trying out Soy formula (thinking she may have an allergy)
Madison - Taking more bottles now.
Thats all for now,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, September 9, 2004 9:55 AM CDT
WE ARE EITHER TAKING THE GIRLS HOME ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.
Well, the girls really are not ready to come home, although mom and dad are ready to be out of the hospital. The girls will be leaving on Saturday or Sunday, depending on how we feel with the NG (Feeding) tubes going down their noses to their stomach. (We have to place, clean, and remove them) Also, how we feel with having 3 monitors. Guess we will see how prepared daddy and mommy are for this new challenge.
Looks like we will need more Newborn diapers and homecooked meals would be great (thank you for what has been given already. Everything tasted good). Not sure what else we will need, but know that we will need more of something.
If someone is wanting to either donate, schedule or volunteer themselves for help, make meals, or do household chores, buy groceries or whatever, please email me at tripletdad7@yahoo.com. Please include how you would like to help and when you may be able to help.
Thank you and God Bless,
Scott Huffman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, September 10, 2004 8:41 AM CDT
The discharge date for Alexa and Madison is on Monday, not this weekend like previously stated. Reason being, they want to wait until the complete staff is there on Monday to do the discharging. This will also allow us to have 2 rooming-in nights.
Not much changed with the girls last night. Melissa has been shown how to place and check the NG tube. Today, our products (the 2 iv poles, pumps, and monitors) will be coming in to the hospital for us to take home.
Talk to you later,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, September 13, 2004 8:03 AM CDT
Well, the girls are not home. On Saturday night we roomed-in with them. At 2am Alexa was having bradies (heart rate down to 55, then another one in the 60's), we took her back to the NICU. We ended up taking Madison back around 8am, still unsure on whether she should come home or not, as we had also saw her brady the day before. So, I am at work with only Emily home.
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, September 15, 2004 11:18 PM CDT
Ok in as brief of terms as I can.
Melissa is in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. They are not going to do surgery at this moment, as they are waiting for the infection to go down. They are talking maybe in a couple of days, releasing her and then bringing her back in a few weeks for the surgery.
Emily, weighes 7lb .7oz
Madison, weighes 6lb 3.8oz
- Founds out that she needs to be looking in a mirror to be happy.
Alexa, weighes 6lb 13oz.
That is all I know.
Have a great weekend and keep my family in your prayers.
Thanks,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, September 20, 2004 12:20 AM CDT
Well, Melissa is out of the hospital now. They have her on 2 types of antibiotics and hydrocodin (vicodin). They plan on doing surgery in 1-4 months depending on some factors that I am not even sure about. I think it has something to do with the white cell count. But unsure.
The other 2 girls may be home tonight or tomorrow. So, if you want to help with feedings, changes, cleaning, preparation of food, or whatever, please email me at tripletdad7@yahoo.com or call me at 317-821-0920 and leave a message.
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, September 21, 2004 8:09 AM CDT
The girls are now home. Daddy and mommy barely slept. Found that the NG tubes made it easier dealing with everything.
Girls are ok though, and I will post more when more is known.
Love ya,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, September 24, 2004 12:48 AM CDT
We are accepting visitors. Please (EMAIL - tripletdad7@yahoo.com),call the house if you can't email, and let us know when you would like to come over. We will try and make sure that there is not a whole load of people there, so you can have a good visit.
I check the email address everyday (except for weekends, call then)
Thanks,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, September 30, 2004 7:00 PM CDT
Well, looks like Melissa will be going into surgery on Monday. Her appendix has started causing problems again, and the doctors office has decided just to remove it now.
The girls are doing good and eating well. Madison and Alexa are both still needing to be ng feed (nose tube). But they are taking more of their bottles.
Sorry, at this time, I really do not have much to say.
Talk to you all later, love ya,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, October 5, 2004 12:22 AM CDT
Well, things have gone back to the way it was before monday. We are still waiting 3-5 weeks to get into see the surgeon for Melissa's appendix. Doc said that if they were to take it out now, she could be in the hospital for more than a week.
Thats all for now,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, October 14, 2004 12:15 AM CDT
Ok, we finally have a date for Melissa to have her appendix removed. November 3rd.
The girls are doing better, taking more bottles. Alexa is throwing up a little less than she was. We are going to try this weekend to feed them during the night, and see how that goes.
I will try to get new pictures up soon, I promise.
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, October 21, 2004 1:51 PM CDT
We are taking Alexa to Riley tomorrow to see the reflux doctor. Ped isn't happy with the weight that she is gaining.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, October 25, 2004 4:35 PM CDT
Well, Alexa went to Riley. Some are talking about placing a G-Tube directly into her stomach (surgery). We say no, and decided to take the NG tube out of her nose and try that for the weekend. She threw up less, yeah. Doc still wants us to go see the GI doctor again on wednesday to do some tests.
Melissa is going to have her appendix out next week, can use all the help that anyone can give. Please call us if you are interested in helping feed the babies (or me, I love to eat), or whatever.
I am going to Chicago on Wednesday - Friday and she may need help also.
Thanks for everything,
Scott
P.S. Check out the new pics online.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, November 5, 2004 11:30 AM CST
Melissa is home from the surgery and doing well. A little tired and in pain.
The girls have been switched from 3hour feedings to adlib (when they want to eat).
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, November 22, 2004 7:41 AM CST
Hello all.
Everything is going well. The girls are eating and not puking. (well sometimes they do puke, not often) They have been sleeping 8 hours every night. Makes it nice for mommy and daddy. Melissa is attempting taking care of the girls alone this week (with exception to Thursday and Friday).
We invite all that want to come out, to come out. You may think that we have a lot of visitors, but we do not.
Have a great day,
Scott
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday, December 4, 2004 9:40 PM CST
Sorry it takes us so long to update, but the girls are keeping us busy. Melissa is doing much better since her surgery and feels as good as can be expected. Melissa now takes care of the girls by herself during the day, except when Grandma's stop by on their lunch hours. Great Grandma also comes when she can to help out.
The girls are getting better every day. They still have their monitors which they mostly only wear when they sleep. The girls have fewer feeding issues and do not puke nearly as much as they used to.
Emily is doing well as always. We did however have to break her of sleeping with her pacifier. She would wake up screaming when she lost it, so now we only let her have it when she is awake. She eats well and is now up to 10lbs 9oz.
Alexa is getting much better at eating. She takes her bottle almost as well as Emily does with the exception that she likes to stop frequently to smile at us. She is now 9lbs 8oz.
Madison is giving us a little trouble with her eating. She eats more than she used to, however she still fights us. She doesn't want to stop being nosey long enough to eat. She is now 8lbs 11oz.
That's all for now. Hope to update again soon, but if you don't hear from us for a while assume things are going well and that we are just enjoying the time we have with the girls while we can.
Happy Holidays!!

Here is a country song by Billy Dean that I touched me so much. Remembering when my babies were just born. Oh, what precious gifts from heaven they were/are. I just wanted to share this with everyone I knew.

Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please
Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
