3 months old!




August 1st Marks the girls' 3 month birthday. (August 5 marks our 8 yr. anniversary- we got two awesome gifts this year!) They've come a long way and been through some hard spots along the way. Not to say it's over, hopefully the rough spots are, but pray for their continued health. Taylor is back to herself now. She's still on IV fluids and antibiotics, but will hopefully be back up to full feeds and through with the antibiotics in the next few days. They turn 39 weeks gested today. All along they told us that they aim for the original due date as a time to send them home- that will be next tuesday, so it remains to be seen. They are both doing well. Taylor is still on the cannula, but is being weaned down slowly, and she's also taking bottles. Hopefully their release dates will be close to the same. Prayer requests now would be- 1)Ability for both to eat whole bottles at every feed without having their heart rates slow down much, 2)That Taylor's strep b is gone for good, 3)Kamryn to gain weight, 4)Reflux issues with both, 5)For them to be able to come home soon, 6)For Kerri and I to be ready- physically, spiritually, mentally. We cherrish all your prayers and encouragement. Thanks again so much to everyone. These girls are a testimony to how God answers the prayers of His saints!

What wonderful pictures! Your girls are certainly miracles and I know you know that. So many verses lately have brought you to my thoughts, especially ones about running the race. Hang in there and when you walk out of that hospital with your girls in tow you can confidently say you have run the good race...and you'll be ready to start an entirely different one. :) Praying for strength for you all.

Hi Kerri and Ted-
Even though I have not been at the RMH volunteering during these summer weeks I still think of you and Camryn and Taylor so often! It is more than thrilling to read of the good news and how exciting that you are getting closer to going home! I will continuously pray for each day ahead to be better than the one that just happened and I am looking forward to many more positive updates!
Still praying!
Love,
Martha

I continue to pray for Kamryn and Taylor daily. I know you are ready to move on to more enjoyable times with both of them. What a great story you will have to tell them about how God healed them both! I know that they will be HUGE door openers for you in the D.R.! God continues to amaze me at just how good He really is!

Love, Missy Wood
