TWIN ROOM!!!

Yeah! We got moved to a twin room today, which means they are together for the first time since birth. We weren't sure if they would be able to do that since Taylor is in contact isolation. They did a culture on Kamryn to see if she is colonized with the MRSA (methycillin resistant staph) like her sister, and she was. The good news is that it doesn't mean she's infected, and because she is positive, she and Taylor get to be together. Also, we are now able to Kangaroo with both!! The doctor talked to us today and said he is pleased with how they are both doing. Taylor will be tried on CPAP tomorrow probably, and Kamryn will be tried again soon after that. Pray they can do well, because the sooner they can get off the ventilators the better. Also, They will have their eye exams next week, like they do with all preemies after 31 weeks gested. He said the test is not to see if they have retinal damage, but how much. They grade it from 1-5, with 5 being the worst. Pray they will have minimal damage, and won't need surgery. They are both over 1000 grams, or 2 lb 3 1/2 oz. Thanks so much for your prayers, because we strongly believe God is the only reason they have done well and made it thusfar. More pictures soon!

That's wonderful news. I get chills every time I read your posts. I have heard people ask why God doesn't perform mircles now like He did during Bible times--I just tell them He does and your girls are a prime example. Our church family is praying for you as well. In fact our SS teacher said Sunday that you are my friends but you feel like everyone's friends since they have all been praying for you and yours girls so much.

Ted & Kerri,
I am so happy that the girls are able to be together. After all, sisters are supposed to be together! I'm also so thankful that you get to hold them both as I'm sure that helps not only them but you, too. We keep praying & waiting for new updates! Their pictures are precious. They are beautiful little gifts!
Love,
Emily Carlew

Praise the Lord! How wonderful that the girls are together now! They are bound to thrive even more getting to be together. I'm sure it is easier on you two as well. Thanks for keeping us updated. How did the eye exams go?

Much love and prayers!
