Fighting on

Today all three of our beautiful little girls seem to be having a great day together. Little Ashlyn seems to be doing so much better than where she was three days ago. We thought we would lose her on several different occasions this past week. Now she is doing so much better. We are in amazement with little Ashlyn, but then again not really because we know who is in charge, He has and continues to perform miracles for our precious little ones. Rachel seems to be holding her own pretty well. We were concerned about her this past week as well. We didn't know for sure what would happen to her, but she seems to be getting stronger each day. Her blood pressure has improved dramatically compared to were it was 5 or days ago. She is completely off all her blood pressure medications and seems to be holding her own. Haley continues to fight on, she is doing great. She is definitely a Stansel through and through. Although she hates to be touched, she is so lovable. She turns bright red and her heart rate shoots up when she is bothered or touched. She is a feisty little thing. We are so eternally grateful for each of our little girls, they are all so beautiful and just make us so happy and proud. It is awesome to be with them, because of the spirit we feel when we are with them. They have a way of making your day better if it has been a rough day, or making a good day even better.

They will continue to fight until they are ready to go home with you! Soon they will get there. Lots of love and prayers for you and the little angels.

  14. I follow your blog and am glad to hear the girls continue to fight on. I have one question and I'm sorry if I've just missed it, but have you been able to see the girls with their eyes open? Praying for your girls and you!

  15. So happy that the girls are doing good. I read your blog daily and have commented a couple of times. My baby A of my triplets was the same way as your one daughter. He hated to be touched the longest time. It was a couple weeks after I held the other two before we could hold him. But now he would rather be cuddled then anything. He is very ticklish you can barley touch him at times without him laughing.
