Here are photos from Friday night – they should be coming home very soon now! The babies do not even have to be on the monitors any longer – thanks for all the prayers for their speedy progress – they were answered!
Although Dylan is anxious to have his babies at home he doesn’t seem to [...]
We finally get to see them without the tubes in their nose! They are doing great!
We are so pleased with the progress our little ones have made in one short week! The Dr says we are just giving them time to mature. That means they need to learn to eat without getting too tired and gain weight. They are making great progress though and he is very pleased with how [...]
Chris and Gina just got home from spending the evening with the twins. They are doing so well the Dr feels they may go home in about a week! They are getting better at taking their entire feedings by the bottle instead of falling asleep half way through and that is a big stepping stone [...]
