Another Week

Dr Purdie, the twins doctor, feels that the babies are doing great. He told us today that he wants to give them another week to get the feeding "thing" down so they do not have to go home with feeding tubes. So it looks like at least another week at the hospital. Today I was able to give Tyler his afternoon lunch. He normal takes about 50cc but today he took 70cc and then tonight he took 80cc! So it looks like he is finally getting it and likes a full stomach. Emelia had her eyes checked, the doctor said there had been no more progression so he will give it two more weeks until her next check up! Looks good.

It is hard to believe that their due date was this past weekend. I was thinking today how much my life had been changed over these past 7 months. This past July we sat in a Pennsylvania hospital, at 2am , and the doctor told us that we were expecting twins, I can still remember thinking what have we done? We tried our best to go on as if life would not change and we could continue with "our" plans, we were so wrong. The next time I found myself sitting in a hospital was when Kerry's water broke and we thought we were going to loose the babies, I thought God what are you doing? What He was doing was beginning a long process of change in our lives. He was teaching us one more lesson on abiding, a life of dependence not independence.

John 15:4-5 "... As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. .....for apart from Me you can do nothing.
