Greetings.We are on the eve of seven weeks for Elsa and Jonas and we couldn't be more proud of our two babies. They continue to amaze us with their strength and will to grow bigger each day. Each day is another victory...another twenty four hours for their lungs to grow! Speaking of celebration...a student from our school gave us the most wonderful card to celebrate their birth! Very cool--we are so thankful for the kind words and supportive high-fives/fist bumps from so many of our amazing students at our school.
Elsa. My my my. So how does it feel to be three pounds? You would have to ask Elsa. Today she weighed 1380 grams. Three pounds and one ounce. She yawned at the news. Elsa is now at 8.5 ml of food an hour and is holding steady. Her ventilator is still about the same.
Jonas. Holding steady in second place in weight, Jonas weighed an impressive two pounds, fourteen ounces. He is also doing well with his feeds and his ventilator is still pretty low.
We continue to pray for health and healing for Jonas and Elsa.

Hello you four!
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to learn about your new little ones this week- wow! What an adventure you are on and how blessed we all are to welcome these precious two into the world. Hugs and kisses all around- I'll keep watching from afar and when you get out (which we will pray is sooner than later) we will celebrate with pink and blue cupcakes!
God bless,
Kathlyn Mickel and family
