Only Good News Here

The girls are doing great. The results from Georgia's latest head ultrasound came back showing that the swelling in her ventricles has resolved itself! They are still watching the bleeding but say everything looks stable and they couldn't hope for better.

Georgia was also being a little bit of a show off last night :O) She was showing us some great oxygen levels without her nasal cannula. She is also on what they consider full feeds and is not in need of the lipids of TPN she was receiving through her IV which means.... no more IV! Besides the monitors she was completely free of things hanging from her.

Madelyn is doing great as well. She is now up to 8ml of milk every 3 hours. Her intestines appear to be working beautifully and it is only a short time now until the surgeons will be putting all back together. She is doing well on her nasal cannula, relying on very little oxygen support.

They looker bigger and more and more beautiful every time we see them. To add to the great night, our favorite nurses Megan and Miranda made a great NICU memento for the girls and I. They made imprints of both girls' hands and feet and put them in a cute frame so that we will never forget how precious and little they were. It's nice when they are with them, I feel like Craig and I can sleep better knowing they are in good hands.

Let's hope and pray for more steps forward and more good days to come.

Craig and Angie:

My son, Brent, and his girlfriend, Andrea, have shared this link about your family. Please know that all of you have been in our prayers since you told your small group you were expecting. When the girls were born, I shared this news with my prayer group and they have been praying for all of you as well.

It is so awesome to see how far you've come with God's blessings all along the way. Your updates bring tears to my eyes--God is so good all the time.

Keep the faith and may God continue to bless you ALL as only He can.
