So far so good!

We praise the Lord that the twins have only had minor, correctable issues so far! Micah even cried when he was born, and has not needed a ventilator. Levi needed it at first, but he is now off the ventilator. One thing I have learned with preemies is that things change quickly. We get new updates every time we go down there- some good some not so great. One visit thy will be off oxygen, next visit they are struggling to breathe. One visit Levi had low red blood cells, next visit he had corrected just as they were deciding on treatment... and Micah's coloring got bad! (He ended up being jaundiced.) And so it goes... We have really learned to take each day as it comes, as a whole, rather than worrying about things as they pop up. Thus far. although Levi is having a slightly tougher time than Micah, they both are really amazing us all with how well they are doing. Again, there are some issues and struggles, so please continue to pray for them!!!! (And us!) But overall we are VERY thankful that what they've dealt with so far has been quickly remedied. They are telling us we may be able to hold them tomorrow, so I am excited about that!!

They look absolutely great! I figured the bigger twin would need more help than the smaller. I'm glad the girls could see them. Our unit here won't let kids back until RSV season is over..about April or so. The unit in Flint didn't let siblings in at all...ever! Anyway, it will be a little bit of a roller coaster for you for a bit but not nearly as much as if you had delivered at 28 weeks! They'll be home soon! Love you all!

Praise God for your precious boys! What miracles! We'll continue to pray everything goes well from this point on...God is holding them in the palm of His hands! They are just precious!

I'll post on our colombian connection blog, too! Isabel was the exact size, 3 lbs 14 oz. as Micah, born at 32 weeks...she was in preemie clothes up to 4 months old! Praising God your boys held out this long! Praying that you can hold them soon!!! Kristi
