Twin girls H & E were born prematurely at 24 weeks 3 days gestation in the summer of 2004. At birth H was 1 lb 3.5 oz, 11.5", E 1 lb 5.5 oz, 12". This is their story...
Oh no!!! I was so hoping to see Holland going home pictures! I'm so sorry to see Eden has it now too - Billie-yikes! Hang in their mom and dad. Praying that the rain goes away and the rainbow arrives soon (hopefully with a Pot of gold too). Get better ladies!
I was hoping to see Going Home pictures too...and said, "Oh No!" out loud when I read your post. Our thoughts are wtih you and the girls. Get better fast!
Crap indeed! Crap, crap, crap! I hope Holland continues to feel better. And that the hospitalization helps Eden turn the corner too. And that you're managing to stay sane. Judging from your post, you haven't totally lost your sense of humor which is truly admirable. As ever, you inspire me. --Kate from NYC
oh no, just when it looked like things were turning up and Holly was getting better now Eden has moved into the hospital too? :[ I hope your girls get well quickly...I feel so bad for you living in the hospital for days it makes it hard to go on and worrying about your girls and work and everything.... it will get better though. you've been sticking it out nicely and hopefully soon it will all be over and you can all return home and happy again.... my thougts are with you
Aw, man, I'm sorry, Billie. You deserve a break. Holland and Eden deserve a break. What a nightmare this has been for you all. I'll keep the prayers coming and hopefully soon they'll be answered!
I was driving yesterday when a white stripes song came on -- I thought of you guys right away and then my thoughts went immediately to Holland and Eden hoping they were better and HOME!
I'm so sorry, guh! My preemie grew out of the pneumonia/breathing treatment thing at about age 4. So hang in there! Get better girls! -Amanda, Memphis TN
Billie, I started reading your blog because your girls remind me of my own daughter's cousins (twin girls born at 29 weeks) so in a strange way I feel I know you - although, of course, I don't, so don't worry about me being a weird stalker - I don't even live in North America ;). It was unpleasant to read about Holland going to hospital and gutting that Eden is in there too now. Get well soon girls! I feel so sorry for you all.
No! Eden you're supposed to stay out of the hospital and wait for Holland to get home.
I'm so sorry Billie. I can't imagine having two kids in the hospital at the same time (do they get to share a room?) but the feeling of everything going wrong is quite familiar.

THat really stinks, Billie. I am so sorry that your poor little girls are sick.
I really wish there was something I could do to help. If we lived closer I'd offer to clean your house, sit with the girls, make you dinner.
You all need a break from this illness! My heart really goes out to you.
I'm so sorry! I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now.
