A Little Setback

Eden had a little setback last night and is now back on the ventilator. She was having the same problem as last time with her CO2 being too high. Her doctors have assured us that we shouldn't worry, that she probably just needs a little more time. So we'll wait to see how she does over the next couple of days, then we will try again. Both girls were weighed yesterday...Holland is up to 1lb 12oz, and Eden is 1lb 14oz. A couple oz more and we'll be joining the 2 pound club! The babies were keeping their nurses hopping today by using their tongues to push out their feeding tubes. Not a good thing when you are in the middle of a feed...Eden. Their nurse Jeanie got a funny picture of Holland caught red handed with the end of the feeding tube in her hand.

Sorry to hear about Eden's setback, but I know God has His hand on her, and on Holland as well.
You are all in our prayers, as usual.
Take care.
Love,
Kendra

Billie, I spoke with your mom today at our quilt class. She is so very proud of you. The proud grandma (Nana) showed us pictures. What a difference a few ounces make. We continue to keep all four of you in prayer. God bless you. Connie Wilhoite

Stay strong guys! A little set back, but they are headed in the right direction! I can't believe the two of them, they are bulking up! You can really tell a difference in their pictures too. Love and smooches! Mamma Jules

Be encouraged! It seems for every setback the girls have had they always make three steps forward...Good news on their weight.

Many prayers and thoughts....Stacey

Hi family,
We are praying for our little tough girls. Hopefully in a couple of days Eden will improve and get off the ventilator. We love you-all!
