Day 71: Happy 10 Weeks!


Wow, 10 weeks. Has it been that long? Has it gone by that fast? This week has been a roller coaster. Adalyn is doing great and we hope to have her home soon. She did gain weight tonight and is up to 4lbs 13oz. There is not much else to say because she has been doing great and she has had no trouble eating since Tuesday. She continues to spit up about 2 ml a feeding and her reflux still bothers her. Please pray that GOD preforms another miracle and takes it away from her. Also continue to pray that she stays free from infection, gains weight, and digests well.

Emma has had another great week! She continues to surpass our expectations and for those who are counting is on feeding number 13 out of 16. The doctors say she will not come home this week but maybe next week. I cannot believe the giant steps she has taken over the last couple of weeks! She is catching up to big sis. Her reflux still seems to be worse than Adalyn's, please pray that GOD takes away BOTH of their reflux. This is what is keeping them there. She has had very few alarms over the last couple of days and the Zantac really seems to be keeping her comfortable. She also gained weight and is up to 4lbs 6oz. Please pray that she can continue to stay free from infection, gain weight, digest well, and that GOD grants her the strength she needs to come home. Please also pray that the doctors be given the wisdom to know when both of the girls are ready to come home.

On another note, even if you don't know them, please pray for our friends from the NICU. Max (Who was sent home 2 weeks ago.) and Wes: Pray that they continue to do good at home and can stay there. Give their parents and nurses the wisdom they need to keep them on the path that GOD has set before them. Also pray for Melanie who went home today so that she can stay healthy and get to know her big sisters!

GOD Is In Control.

  5. What an adorable picture of Adalyn and Emma! They are getting so big! I looked back at the first pictures all the way until now and it is a miracle how they have grown and done so well. We feel bad that Adalyn had to stay, but, if the doctors think it is best, then it is. Soon this will all be a memory to you when the girls are home safe and sound and you start a new life with them.
    Hang in there! Our prayers continue!

  6. Lord we thank you for these precious little girls. Thank you for how you have been with them ever day,how you con't to grow and protect them.
    In Deut. 4:9
    God tells us to "Be careful not to forget the things we have seen God do for us. Keep reminding yourself and tell your children and grandchildren".
    Holy Spirit help us to never forget this miracle. You have greatly blessed me with my grandchildren and children.
    Thank you Jesus.
