5 weeks old!

The twins turned 5 weeks old on Sunday! It's only Wednesday and it has already been a busy week with the girls!

Claire's hand breaking free!

Caroline wide awake!

Caroline just hit the 4 pound mark on Monday night. She was 4 pounds 1 ounce! She is now bottle feeding too.  She took her whole bottle in 15 minutes on Tuesday. She is growing so quickly!  She is very alert and active.

Caroline loves the pacifier!

Claire has reached the 4 pound mark too! She weighed 4 pounds 1 ounce last night.  She is still on the ventilator.  She has had a lot of secretions over the past few days so the doctors decided to send some of the secretions to the lab and it turns out that she has an infection.  Yesterday she started antibiotics to help her fight the infection. Her doctors think that she would benefit from surgery to close the PDA and at the same time they would also perform a procedure to help her left diaphragm work properly. The surgeons at Children's Hospital want to wait until the infection clears up before doing the surgery.  So we'll wait to see how things go over the next few days.  

Claire looking pretty in pink!

Please continue to keep the girls in your prayers!
