The adventures of tader baby: brain music

We've started something new with Sumner: neurofeedback. Electrodes are hooked up to his head and his brain is rewarded with music when they show the correct patterns of brainwaves. He calls it his "head music" or "brain music." We've seen some results already and are very hopeful for even more!

Sorry I have been such a bum with posting pictures, I promise to try and do better!

The story of how the tader tots came to be

When I started this blog, I originally thought it was going to be a taderbaby...we chose the nickname after the delicious spuds served at Young's Jersey Dairy...but quickly found out it was tader tots! At 28 weeks gestation my placenta started abrupting and I was briefly hospitalized, then put on strict bedrest. At 31w 4d I was let up for an hour a day. At 32w on the dot, I was re-admitted for bleeding and began a four day fight to stop labor which I lost on 2.15.07 when Jack's placenta abrupted fully. If I hadn't been at the hospital, we wouldn't have made it. Upon birth, Jack's apgar was 3. The boys spent 4 weeks in NICU and this is their story, and mine.
