Finally some good news!

I took Michael to the eye doctor and his eyes are fully developed and the ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) is gone! I don't have to take him back for a whole year! This is the first time we have gone to a doctor's appointment and not been given a condition or instructions for a follow up appointment. For those of you who don't know the babies currently have seven doctors. We are hoping after January we will be down to four or so. As nice as it is to get out of the house, sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office is not exactly a getaway. Emily goes back to the eye doctor January 9th and will probably be cleared for a year as well. For now, we are celebrating today's results!

Finally some pictures of the babies!

Michael is home!

A quote from the Special Care nurses, "Look who is finally going home!" Michael came home today at 5:30 p.m. after being in the hospital for 12 weeks. He weighs 6 pounds and 9 ounces. So far we are all busy but doing well. We will take some pictures of the babies and try and post them tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for your continued support and prayers; we know prayer had a lot to do with the health of our precious little ones.

Hernia surgeries successful!

On Tuesday afternoon Michael and Emily both had their hernias repaired. It turns out they had both started to develop a second hernia so they each have two incisions. Emily spent the night in the NICU and came yesterday afternoon. Michael spent the night in the NICU and then went back to the Special Care Nursery. We are not sure when he will get to come home, but he will stay there at least until Monday. Hopefully we will all be together soon!
