The life and adventures of two former MK's...and their new additions. Our first daughter was born full-term on Jan 19, 2009 and 10 short months later, our micro-preemie was born Nov 6, 2009 at 24w3d and 1 pound 6 ounces. Read her story and our journey below.

More Issues
And let the roller coaster continue. When we got in this morning, Emily was swollen up like a balloon. Last night they started her morphine drip again because she was so uncomfortable. Then her blood pressure dropped dramatically and they had to pump her full of fluids to try to get it back up. To give you an idea, she was one pound 12 ounces and now she is 2 pounds 3 ounces. It will go back down later but for now, she has yet another monitor attached to her and even less skin exposed. While we were touching her, her numbers dropped again and we got 'kicked out' of her incubator. She is okay right now but has a lot of fluids in her lungs and they are suctioning quite often. Please keep praying for her. We NEED her lungs to start working efficiently or none of these problems will resolve themselves.

Still praying for you guys throughout the day...
We are praying and continue to do so. I wish there was some way we could ride part of this roller coaster for you. But please know you aren't a lone, you are loved, thought of and prayed for often.
Hi M&B-
Much love from NC! We pray for Emily's health often, and for your states of mind. I'm so glad to read your recent postings; it seems you've found some of the peace you so needed - we will pray for even more of the same. God bless! Gina and Mark
E's,
We are praying for you guys, with you for your girls... so great to see how you are processing Your Gift and looking to the Lord, walking near to him- maybe nearer than ever?- to go through this... We are liftign you all up to the Father, the Healer, and asking him to get her little lungs pumping well soon.
MUCH LOVE to you all,
Matt and Jill- et al
