Both our angels are home now!!





Sorry for being so long on a post, but Taylor got released on Saturday from the hospital. They wanted to wait until Monday, because they said if something happened we would have to go to the emergency room instead of a pediatrician. She had been doing well for several days, so we decided to pry a little, and they decided they would let her come home. We haven't had any problems yet, praise the Lord, and already have doctor appointments lined up. Eye doc tomorrow, ped. Thurs, pulmnologist next week, O.T. in a couple of weeks- it's pretty crazy. Taylor is on oxygen as well at the moment, but is doing breathing treatments twice a day to try and get her lungs better. We're learning that life with twins (especially extremely premature twins) is pretty busy. We are enjoying it thoroughly, but we are walking around like zombies most of the time. We pretty much have them on the same schedule, but they don't understand schedules just yet (ha ha). It seems like they sleep all day, and are ready to play at midnight. By the time we sit down to try and email or blog, it's time to eat again, or something. They are both getting ready to eat again, so they are waking up a little. It is, again, so hard to believe that this time we've waited so long for is here. Thank you again again for all your faithful prayers. - Just to let you know how much your prayers have meant, we took Kamryn to the doc. on friday for a follow up, and several doctors ended up coming in and seeing her. I was concerned if there was something wrong, but the first doc. looked at me and said, "We don't see many 25 week preemies doing this well, so everyone wanted to see her." And if that isn't enough, when we were leaving with Taylor on Saturday, the nurse said to us, "You guys don't know how fortunate you are to have not one, but two 25 weekers doing so well." She said hardly no babies that young get out without having something major like surgery to close the artery in their hearts that you guys prayed for early on, or eye surgery, or a tracheotomy, or a feeding tube surgically inserted in their bellies- something! We had a lot of good nurses and doctors there, and it was almost like leaving family on Saturday. Several nurses that have had them came by to see them both. We also see several new babies come in and see parents asking the same questions we had early on and not knowing what kind of journey they have ahead. We want to remember the things they've been through, lest we forget the faithfulness of our God.

We are so, so happy for you all! God is so good! I think it is so neat that they both wore the outfit that Kerri wore home from the hospital. That is so special. We can't wait to see these little babies in person before too long! Love y'all!

WOW! What a Mighty God we serve! I just can't believe they are home this soon. It is amazing to see how far they have come. I am so happy for you and your family. I can't wait till they are strong enough to make the trip to Greenwood, so I can finally see them in person. I Love you all and will continue to pray for each of you. Love Terry, Curt, Beth and Will
