Mallory and Kelby: We're going HOME!!!!

The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

We're going HOME!!!!

Well, after 103 days in the NICU, we're going home!

There are a few things that have to get done before the girls get released. Kelby has to have an MRI done today so that we can see in more detail the effects of the brain bleed she had. We will have to go up to the hospital tomorrow for "monitor training". Because Kelby is still taking Theophylline, she will have to stay on a monitor for a while. We will room in with them at the hospital tomorrow night and if all goes well, we will bring them home Thursday morning!
