No News Is Good News

I don't have much to report in terms of details at this time. Our sources say nothing has changed and so around here we like to say that "no news - is good news!"

The twins' Aunt Amber (yes, they have many beautiful, praying Aunties!) reported that the twins had a "great first night" according to the nursing staff and that their breathing equipment did not need to be changed or adjusted throughout the night! THIS IS AMAZING. Baby Boy even opened his eyes for a little bit. Mom and Dad are doing well.

Thanks to those of you who prayed through the night and battled tiredness and darkness to war in the spirit. Thank you for loving the twins and taking them to the Lord in prayer.

*A little more technical - when I wrote above that the twins "breathing equipment did not need to be changed or adjusted" what that really meant was that they had no ventilation changes throughout the night. Their vents were already on the lowest setting and they needed no additional oxygen through the hours of the night. Yea God! Thanks for the update Aunt Andrea!!*

  4. You are most definitely in our prayers and thoughts. on July 14th I myself had an emergency c-section for my twin girls and had to visit the NICU at Women's and Babies regularly... I know some of what you are going through. The road was not the easiest but the nurses in the NICU were so helpful and understanding, a true God send to me. I will be checking in regularly to see the updates on these two little miracles. If you need anything at all let me know! There is an organization that has helped us out called Tiny Miracles, they have been really helpful to us as well. The founder of the organization had her daughter at 26 weeks and is well informed! Praying that all goes well. -Emelene Reist Wenger

  5. That is the Lord's doing that they are holding a nice healthy steady at this stage. I will be continuing to be praying for the entire family and medical staff that is envolved in the care of the babies. - Kari (Pennell) Yarnall
