Please welcome..............
I've been offline for 3 weeks now; just returned home yesterday. I would like to give sincere thanks to everyone who prayed for the safety of my new twin granddaughters born 10 weeks premature.
I'm proud to introduce:
Kaylin Jenna weighing in at 1.640 kgs on the 24th Nov. 2009 and
Teagan Jayde weighing in at 1.560kgs.
It has been a roller - coaster time. The first 5 days both were completely on breathing support and under lights for jaundice. They are on IV Therapy, Heart, Respiration, O2 Saturation and Temperature monitors and are fed through a stomach tube. Teagan started with pneumonia and was critical for 3 days, fortunately responding to antibiotics. Kaylin's stomach sphincter was very underdeveloped and she was constantly vomiting her feeds (all 2cc of them!)
Their little hands,arms , feet and even scalps have been used to keep the IV Therapy going and are blue from all the bruising but I thank God they are alive and now doing well.
They are now on 20cc milk every 3 hrs and Teagan has overtaken her sister weighing 1.800kgs to Kaylin's 1.780kgs.
They will still be in Neonatal Intensive Care and Hi Care for the next 6 -7 weeks.
The photos show the first ones taken full frame 6 hrs after birth compared with the last ones taken on Thursday!
I included the ruler to show actual size!! :D
Again thanks to everyone for your support and prayers.
