Mallory and Kelby: Kelby hit 4 lbs!!

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.

Kelby hit 4 lbs!!

Not a lot to report today other than Kelby has hit 4 lbs! She is now an even 4 lbs and Mallory is 4 lb 13 oz. Mallory is still getting three bottles a day and is handling them well. She's occasionally a little too tired to finish off the whole thing, but she's doing great. We thank God for all the progress they have made! Kelby should be able to take a bottle soon, her oxygen requirements are still just a little too high.
