Long summer days...

Greetings on a beautiful summer Saturday... and by 'beautiful', I mean dreadfully hot. :)

The twins are doing great. Emery was called the "superstar of the NICU" by one nurse in their morning rounds, and she continues to thrive and hold steady as can be! The babies continually have their body temps monitored, and the isolette will automatically make temperature adjustments to warm them up a little if needed. Emery's temp has been holding steady to the point that now they are talking about getting her ready to come out of the isolette to be in a regular crib! As of today, she is even wearing a regular onesie/sleeper nightgown!

Collin is doing very well too. His breathing has been holding steady the last few days, thankfully, and he's begun eating a little more. His weight fluctuates a little bit more than Emery's, and at times he seems to retain a little water and his feet/face look a tad puffy. But we're told it's nothing to worry about too much, his body systems may just be adjusting and learning to work together.

Erin is able to make it over there to hold the babies each day, which is SO important. Time with mommy is, in my opinion, more important than anything else for their development. We're grateful to family and friends who help with Miles to make this possible.
