Today the girls are still doing great. Abi had Emma today for Kangaroo Care and I had Adalyn, we both enjoyed our time with our other daughter. It's amazing how much this helps us bond with our little girls, every day we feel more like parents and it is a little harder to leave. The girls are starting to show signs of getting tired from all the hard work they have been doing with their breathing. Today they put them on the high flow nasal cannula(high flow oxygen) to give them a little break. They are both still breathing on their own but this just helps blow the oxygen into their lungs. This has been doing the trick all day but the doctors just want us to be prepared that they may have to go back on the CPAP for a couple of days just to give their little bodies a much earned break. We are okay with this but we still hope it isn't necessary, we feel bad for them for how hard they have to work and are so proud of them with how far they have come.
The last thing I ask for today is this: I know how easy it is to get comfortable when the good news keeps pouring in every day and we start to "forget" to pray in earnest. GOD has blessed my family more than I could have hoped for and to be honest probably more than I would have thought he would. Please stay vigil and continue to pray for Adalyn and Emma every day and also thank GOD daily for the many miracles he is working through these two precious daughters of HIS.
Again thank you GOD! Thank you for all the wonderful and supportive people You have placed in and around our lives. Please hold Emma and Adalyn in Your hands this evening and keep them safe. AMEN
Prayers continue. Thanks for the updates. I think I check about 18 times a day. I will be working in the NICU tomorrow, I'll keep an eye out for you guys.
