The girls are both doing well. They are both still on CPAP and breathing well. Mallory is having to get a little more support breathing, but she is doing good. Mallory is now 2 lb 3 oz and Kelby is 1 lb 11 oz. Mallory had a spinal tap done on Friday to make sure the bacteria hadn't gotten into her spinal fluid and that test came back showing that everything was fine.
Kelby has been a little bit sick. Last Friday, they noticed she wasn't moving around as much as she had been, so they stopped her feedings and put an IV back in to give her IV nutrition. They think her stomach and intestines just need a little bit of a break. They are going to start feedings again in a few days. They think she has an infection of some kind, they're just not sure what it is yet, they are treating her with antibiotics and they think that will take care of it. They are also testing her for the same virus that Mallory has had, they think she may have the same thing. Overall, they are still both doing well. We have gotten to help out with a few things, we have helped change a few diapers and Jennifer got to lift Kelby up while they were changing her bedding a few days ago. We still haven't gotten to hold them. Hopefully soon, we're hoping by Christmas.

I dont know if you remember me but I am your mom's (Donna) cousin. I just heard about the babies. We are so glad the 2 girls are doing so well. We walked a similiar road with our grandson, Joshua. So you are VERY much in our prayers. May God hold and protect you in the coming months. Merry Christmas and God Bless you guys.
Love

What a good update! We're so blessed to read that the girls are hangin' tight on CPAP. Soon you'll be off those and on cannulas! Praying, as always, for healing from infections and great growing and progress for K & M. When our girls were in the NICU and we weren't allowed to hold them, I was comforted by the thought that if they were still in utero, we wouldn't be fretting over that. We weren't supposed to hold them yet. It will come soon. And will be all the more precious for the waiting. Blessings to you all.
