Personality, Attitude and Blessings
Guess what? Rachel once again pulled her tube out again today. That makes 4 times in one week. She just loves to keep us on our toes! I love her attitude and personality. She seems to get what she wants when she wants it (we will have to break her of that habit). She is a strong and feisty little thing. She has her daddy's personality. Haley has such a calm and easy going personality - like mine. She had her eyes wide open when we were there today. She has such beautiful big eyes. Today the surgeon Dr. Bloss probed into her ostomy, when he did that he found kind of a mucus plug is what they referred to it as. Haley had better bowel sounds after Dr. Bloss did that little procedure, but still no poop. The doctors are contemplating whether to start her back on breast milk tomorrow, We really hope that happens. We have discovered one thing about both our little girls and that is they love to have their heads rubbed. It calms them down and puts them to sleep. The girls received a priesthood blessing by our good Bishop and Thomas early this evening. We have such a great Bishop, he has always been there for Thomas and I. He is such a great man, with a big heart. I feel confident that our precious daughters will be ok. I always seem to feel so much better once they have been administered to by the Priesthood of God. Big thanks to Bishop Hales for everything he has done for my family, we truly love and appreciate him for his kindness and friendship, couldn't ask for a better Bishop. Being with our girls is the always the highlight of our day. Haley and Rachel are so enjoyable to be around; They bring us so much peace and happiness as we spend time with them each and everyday. Our love for our daughters is unbound, and words can not begin to express our deep concern and love for them. Despite the wild ride it has been, it has all been worth it. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Yes the loss of our precious angels has been very hard, but they will always be ours and they will always be loved. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about them. I look forward to that day when we are reunited as a family. Families are forever and that is something that no one can take away from us.

The girls are just beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pictures of your beautiful girls and hearing their progress. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures! You can really see their faces now. With God's help, soon they will be home and once they are home you will be amazed by how quickly they progress. My twin daughters were born 13 weeks early right here in Houston. That was almost 4 years ago. When I look at them now, I almost cannot believe they spent 3 months in a Level 3 NICU. They are just happy little girls. I don't have to tell you what we went through to get here. I am praying for Rachel and Haley and all of you.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures look so great. They are looking bigger all the time. They really are darling. Isn't it neat that you can tell personalities from such a young age. I could feel some of my children's personalities when I was pregnant with them. It's amazing how they really do come with those.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy Bishop Hales is your bishop. You don't have to know him very well...I can just feel how good he is by just being around him for a little bit. He just exudes goodness and love, doesn't he? Thank goodness for the Priesthood!
Rachel and Haley, you are precious! Amanda and Thomas, thank you again for the update. I love the pictures. Rachel's pink hat is so cute, and Haley looks chubbier then ever. It's a joy to see these pictures and follow their progress. My prayers and love continue to go your way.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are so beautiful! It always so great to hear forward progress!
ReplyDeletePraying for you always,

What cute pictures. Lets hope she doesn't pull it out again LOL she is sure a fiesty one. Praying they get to come home soon.
ReplyDeleteOne can't help but fall in love with your precious angels- beautiful girls! Thank you for posting pictures! The Priesthood is such a blessing and will be a great comfort to you and your babies at this time.
ReplyDeleteONE word....Adorable
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed
Prayers continue for your family
They are getting so big and cute. What a sneaky little Rachel to keep pulling her tube--she just knows it's not supposed to be there! Hopefully soon she'll be able to make it on CPAP and get rid of that thing for good. Hopefully getting rid of the mucus plug will get things moving for Haley! I hope they have a great week.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness !!! the girls are looking SO well and BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!! fantastic !!!
ReplyDeleteThey are TOO cute!!! I'm sure they will be home very soon!!!

fiesty is GOOD - just look where it has gotten our little Rachel - don't take it away - just try to direct it.
ReplyDeletesuch precious little girls. it is such a delight to see them growing and doing so well.
Haley will be on breast milk before you know it and soon --- they'll be home. Oh blessed day.
love you you all!!! Erma from Midvale, Utah
the girls are beautiful. Rachel is your little spitfire.
ReplyDeleteThat's not good for her to having to keep being reintubated...and 4 times in a week.
ReplyDeleteI'd ask the RT's if they could secure her tube better. There are different methods used for baby's who like to pull that might cut down on the number of times she's successful extubating herself.
They are getting so big!
