Oh sweet Charles. At one point doctors told us we could increase James' chances of survival if we killed Charles. James seems pretty happy that option was never on the table for us. 💙💙

Charles must've noticed his brother went home because over the last 2 days he progressed so much that he came home today! There were so many times where we didn't think this moment would happen. Eyes filled with happy tears wheeled the twins out of the hospital for the last time.

So let me understand - we need to remove her from her caucus and committee assignments while we investigate what happened - but she can be the deciding vote on massive pieces of legislation that will impact the entire state? They have no shame, no honor, no principles.

What a difference one week can make. This is Charles. Both boys are off CPAP/Oxygen, and are tentatively done with IVs. They are taking a break from the "tanning beds" and are gaining weight! Still eating via feeding tube. Their progress, so far, has been "identical" 😉

They used her for her vote to ram through their partisan agenda - & now they’ll switch to trying to push her out before June 8 so they can avoid a special election. Suddenly, all their reasons she was entitled to stay and be the deciding vote ~disappeared.~ Absolutely shameless.
