Together Again

Together for the first time since they were born, Kamryn and Taylor are now in the same crib! It's pretty sweet. They just lay there and look at each other. The nurse said they were fussy at one point, and she turned them toward each other, and when they looked at each other they just both calmed down. She got a picture of them holding hands today. Can't wait to see that developed. Anyway, They are both over 4 pounds now, Kamryn at 4lbs 2ozs and Taylor at 4lbs 14ozs. Taylor's MRI went okay the other day. She had a pretty hard time with it, as they are loud and the room is freezing. It took over two hours from the time they took her, so she was worn out. The report said that everything basically looks the same as what they had seen from the ultrasounds. The good news is that it's not worse. Of course, we hope to see progress, but hopefully that will happen with time. Please continue to pray for that. Everything definitely could have been a lot worse, so we've already seen God's hand in this, just as in so many other ways. Thanks so much for all your prayers! Kamryn is doing well on the nasal canula, and they have turned down her air flow twice already. Taylor is doing well, also, but is progressing on her own schedule, as always. Hopefully both of them will be able to try bottle feeding soon. Pray they will catch on to that quickly, because the sooner they can do that, the sooner they can come home! Thanks again to each of you for being a part of their lives in such a special way by praying!

Awesome Praises!

Kamryn is now also on the Canula and doing great. She's requiring only room air levels of oxygen and breathing well. Pray she continues on this good tract. She has also finally started gaining weight, after staying the same and even losing a few ounces, and is now 3lbs 14 ozs. Taylor has continued to gain weight, now at 4 1/2 lbs, and is also continuing to do great on the canula. She is requiring only a little oxygen, also. Taylor is also in an open crib, and should start trying a bottle by the end of next week. Kamryn will hopefully follow soon after on these milestones. We are blessed to have my (Ted) parents in town visiting, also. We had a great time tonight with the girls. We were able to hold them to help calm them down since they were restless. I was kind of dancing a little with Taylor and as I was doing so, we had some music on in the background, and Steven Curtis Chapman's song, "I will dance with Cinderella" came on. It was pretty special. Kerri had a great time with Kamryn, and we caught a really cute picture (above) of her just enjoying her mom, and vice versa. Their eye exams this past week were good, still showing immature eyes, but there is no damage as of yet. Pray this will continue to be the case. Also pray that both have good results from their head scans on Monday. Taylor will have an MRI, and Kamryn will have another ultrasound. Please also continue to pray for them to stay healthy and well.
