Baby Update

Well, another day in NICU. The girls are still doing good. All of the doctors and nurses have told us that this will be a roller coaster ride, and it has definitely been that. Mallory was put back on the conventional ventilator yesterday and has been doing well since. They did a culture on her lungs when they put her back on the ventilator and that test showed that there was some bacteria growing in her lungs. They have put her on antibiotics and that should take care of it. The doctor said that that is probably what caused the problems that led to them putting her back on the ventilator, so once they get that cleared up, she should be able to go back on CPAP. Her latest blood test didn't show any signs of the infection, so that is good. Kelby is still going strong on CPAP, she has had some apnea (she forgets to breathe every now and then) but we have been assured that this is normal with babies born this premature. Kelby was scheduled to have another head ultrasound this morning. We haven't heard yet what the results of that were. We are praying that this one doesn't show any more bleeding and that there won't be any lasting effects. Other than that, both girls are still doing extremely well. Also, please pray for us this weekend as we fly to Lubbock for Evan's graveside service. We pray that God gives us peace in knowing that Evan is resting peacefully in a much better place and that we will all be reunited with her one day.
