The Girls are Holding Their Own

The girls are already 11 days old. It's hard to believe, even though it has been hard and long. Anytime I see "Hospital" on the caller I.D., it makes me tense up. Yesterday, one of the babies' doctors called and actually gave us some good news. He told me first that both girls would be started on feedings. They seem to be tolerating it well. The next thing he said was that Kamryn was doing well on her breathing, and they wanted to try her on cpap, which is the nostril ventilator. They tried it without removing the tube, and it didn't go well. They are going to try it tonight with removing the tube. That makes us nervous. We pray she will do well with that. As far as her fingers, we won't be able to tell anything yet, we just have to wait it out. Then, the doctor asked me what the cardiologist had told me before. I said that he told me Kamryn still had a large PDA. He said that's what he thought, but that he talked to the other cardiologist and that one said her PDA actually looked a good bit smaller that the last one. He didn't understand why it did, since she wasn't on medication for it. I just smiled and replied, "I Know why." This is a Christian doctor, and he said that he agreed with me, and added, "the power of prayer." He didn't hear a murmur, and said he suspected that the PDA was closed. After doing the echocardiogram on her today, they said that it was only a small PDA, and that they would not do surgery at this time. Keep praying, it's working. Taylor seems to be doing well also. Her head isn't showing signs of swelling, which is good, and we feel God will handle this situation as well. Thanks to everyone for your prayers.
