Day 63: 2 months old!

So the twinners were 2 months old yesterday, wow! They have come so far in the past 2 months & I praise God for that! I must say they are the most beautiful, most precious, 2 month old twins around :)

The girls are doing well. Emma has had no bleeding since Monday afternoon. So today they took the IV out that they placed monday while her feedings were on hold. They are continuing Zantac for now via her feeding tube to see if it makes her more comfortable from her reflux. And...she is off her high flow nasal cannula and on room air! Pray with us that she will get to stay off! So far so good! Her weight tonight was 4lbs 2oz (1885 grams).

Adalyn is doing well also. She is still doing well taking her full bottle 3 times a day so today they increased it so she can nipple 4 times a day. She has been doing a little more spitting up but nothing excessive. Adalyn's remaining 4 feedings for the day will be compressed over 1 hour. Her weight tonight was 4lbs 9oz (2080 grams).

Both girls continue to have some alarms, pray that this continues to improve. Please pray that Emma can stay off the high flow cannula and on room air. Also, the Zantac that Emma is on for her reflux makes her gut more susceptible to infection. Please pray that God continue to protect both girls from infection. Praise God for the girl's weight gain! And pray that God continue to help them grow and develop well. Please pray that God heal Emma's eyes so that there is no worsening of her ROP.

  2. Two months old, congratulations Adalyn + Emma. This a.m. our devotions were from Ps. 23. Our great Sheperd is always watching over all of us and surely has watched over the twins and will continue to do so. Again I say: Praise God from whom all blessings flow! We pray without ceasing and send our Love. G. Grandma

Each day I am praying for the four of you, and rejoicing in all that He has done! Thank you also for the updates! Sending you my hugs and love!
