Two Months Old!

Today is the girls two month birthday. Ashlyn, Haley and last but not least little Rachel have hit their two month milestone. We are so grateful that they have made it thus far. We are grateful for each one of them. It is so amazing to see each of them with their own personality, with their own identity. They all act so different from each other. Tonight we held Haley for the second time. She is doing good even though she still has an infection. Her favorite nurse Kodi was taking care of her. Haley loves her! Thomas changed Haley's diaper for the first time. He did a good job. Rachel is still doing well. Her vent settings were weaned more today. The doctor did mention that if Rachel continues to do well and the vent can continue to be weaned down, then they will extubate her in a couple of weeks. It will be so nice to have her off the vent. Ashlyn continues on. She continues with the edema which is still not coming off. Her urine output is still not that great. She really needs to pee more to get that extra fluid off. We hope and pray for a miracle for her. We will just have to wait and see what happens. The doctors are doing all they can for her. It is so awesome to have these precious girls who have touched our lives eternally already. We love and cherish their special spirits. We have been so enriched and blessed by them. Thanks be to God for allowing them to come to earth and to be with Thomas and I.

  4. Precious babies to precious parents! The girls will continue to bring joy and happiness to your lives. Rachel's progress is amazing, and Haley is about there too! I continue to pray for a miracle for little Ashlyn. I also pray a lot for you to hang in there and keep up with the great job as parents. I can't immagine going through all the emotional and physical stress that this situation involves. Amanda and Thomas, you are great! Love, Claudia
