Mallory and Kelby: We have two 3-pounders!!!

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 have two 3-pounders!!!

Just a note to let everyone know Kelby hit the 3 pound mark. Mallory is now 3 lb 12 oz and Kelby is 3 lb 1 oz. They are doing great today. Mallory has not had any of the SVT's since they took her off of the medication two days ago. They are going to try to take Kelby off of the CPAP later today or tomorrow. Mallory is being put back on the 3 hour feedings and Kelby will be put back on them this weekend. Hopefully they will do well and won't have any apnea after their feedings. We will update again soon.
