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.

Mallory's off CPAP!!

Well, the girls are both doing really well. Mallory came off of CPAP today (We posted some pictures in the slideshow above). She's doing really well so far. Kelby will be right behind her, they are going to give her a few more days, they are still turning down her oxygen requirements everyday. They took Mallory off of her heart medication today to see if the SVT (rapid heartbeat episodes) has gone away on its own. We'll see in the next day or so if she has to go back on it, so far everything looks good. They are both gaining weight and looking bigger everyday. They'll be home before we know it. We can't wait, we miss them so much every time we have to leave the hospital.

YAY! I love the new pictures! I know I said this already, but Mallory definitely has Jeremy's nose :) I'm sure Kelby probably does too but I will wait until she is off CPAP! They look so precious in their "big girl" clothes!!
