Mallory and Kelby: Happy New Year!

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.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! The girls are both doing really well. Mallory is now 3 lb 3 oz and Kelby is 2 lb 10 oz. She's gaining on her. They are both doing well on CPAP, their oxygen requirements have both come down and their settings are continually being lowered. They have made a lot of progress over the last few weeks. They are both tolerating feedings well and are gaining weight everyday. We will post more pics soon, our camera died right before Christmas, we'll have a new one soon. We've been taking pictures with disposable cameras and will have those developed soon also. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. A lot of prayers have been answered in the last few weeks. We'll update you again soon.
