COMING HOME!!!

The words we've been waiting so long to hear. We were told that if Kamryn remains on the tract she's on right now, she should go home Monday. She will be sent home on an apnea monitor, which we are actually excited about, because it should give us a little more peace of mind while we sleep. Taylor is still working on feeding from a bottle. She's doing well, but still has a little ways to go, and we're also trying to ween her off the cannula she's on. Hopefully she can be home soon as well. Pray that this would be so. Pray for wisdom for us as parents to be able to raise them to be the most Godly girls we can, and just be good all around parents. Thanks for all your prayers, for this day is one we have longed to see- if it weren't for your prayers, I'm not sure we would have ever seen this day!

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!
