A good start

While talking to the neonatologist today, she said that things were going well. They've made it through their first night on the outside... Jack has responded to his 3rd dose of servactin (sp?) and his oxygen support has lowered considerably. She was quite surprised that a belly line (IV through his umbilical cord) was able to be put into him, but was quite glad about it. Apparently, his umbilical cord was very small. Ella's blood pressure is better, also.

The neonatologist said that she was pleased that "They had a good start".

They are amazing!! You guys did a great job - and everything is truly in God's hands now! At times it will be hard, but trust Him - He's really good at this!
Congratulations Mom and Dad!

Awesome news! Glad to hear the babies are doing well. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing more pics as they grow in the NICU and then at home.

Praying still for the little ones until they are at home with you.

We're thinking of all of you often. Keagan and Kinlee are quite excited about their new baby cousins! They just don't get why they can't hold them, RIGHT NOW! We'll do anything you need, just let us know. The best is yet to come! Love all of you, Kerri

Way to go! Those beautifuly babies will be on different monitors in all stages of their lives. When they are teenagers they WON'T be happy about it though. TONS OF PRAYERS FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILIES, and YOUR MEDICAL TEAM.
