Another great day together
Happy to report that the girls had another great day together! Ashlyn is looking better as the edema is resolving. Both Rachel and Haley are getting fed again with my breast milk. It's amazing to look at them and see how much they have grown. I think back to when they were born and how tiny they were. They have come a long way in just 7 short weeks. They have overcome a lot and are continuing to be so strong. Thomas and I are so proud of our daughters and their strong fighting spirits. Thomas's birthday is tomorrow and my birthday wish for him is to get to hold one of our daughters. Thomas has said that this is his greatest desire. He doesn't want anything else for his birthday except for the opportunity to hold his daughter. Will this wish come true? We will find out tomorrow...

Have you asked? I am pretty sure my friend was holding her son by 29 weeks adjusted age. They were kangaroo holding and it was the most spiritual thing I had witnessed up to that point. I am hoping and praying he gets his birthday wish and more than thrilled to hear the edema is resolving. It has been worrying me, way to go, Ashlyn!!
ReplyDeleteI've been a lurker for a long awhile now, and I just wanted to write and say I am hoping & praying that Thomas' gets to hold one of the girls for his birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog since shortly after these Precious babies arrived here on earth. I Pray for you and these 3 little girls and the ones who went to heaven every time I think about them. I hope your Birthday wish is granted Thomas what a Joyous moment that will be.
ReplyDeleteGod Has you and Your Little Family Cradled in His Hands.

Happy b-day Thomas, and may all your wishes come true! Happy day that they do so well. the girls are doing better each day..Love, Erma
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Thomas - sure hope that your wish comes true. I am so grateful to hear about progress two days in a row. Your sure do have strong little girls who love you and Amanda and are doing all they can to stay with you. Love from Salt Lake City!
ReplyDeleteWhat uplifting news! Thanks for the continued updates. Hoping Thomas gets his birthday wish today! My thoughts and prayers continue to be with your lovely family. Your strength and wonderful attitudes continue to inspire! Positive thoughts and love to your babies!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that the girls are doing better! What wonderful news! Now we just need them to continue to get better and grow more each day.
ReplyDeleteIf I were you guys, I would ask to hold whichever one is having the best day. It couldn't hurt to ask. We were holding our son at 28wks. (Born at 25wks.) They may give you the excuse that it's too hard when they're on a ventilator, but I will tell you it is possible. The babies will love it. They may stress out some at first, but they will settle right down and snuggle up to sleep.
Hope the birthday wish comes true!
Happy Birthday Thomas...and I hope you get your wish. :)
ReplyDeleteanother great day way to go girls.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Thomas
Happy Birthday, Thomas! Did you get your wish? I hope you did. What great news to hear about your daughters. Praying for their constant strength and health.
