Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. -Hebrews 1:11-
Thursday July 23:
Amelia and Kaylee did very well at theirs attempts to nurse today! They are happily taking the bottle and doing quite well with them. I am so proud of how well they are doing! They are continuing to progress nicely. By this evening they will both be off of their nasal oxygen tubes, their feedings upped to 20mL (0.6 ounces) and incubators down to 27 and 28 degrees Celsius.
Because Kaylee is bigger than Amelia, she is doing a little better controlling her body temp and will more than likely be out of the incubator by the end of the weekend! Amelia is not far behind and working really hard to catch up to her sister!
It's discharge day. My emotions are all over the place. I'm excited to go home but deeply saddened by the thought of leaving the girls. Knowing the girls are in excellent hands is a relief but having them 20 minutes away is going to be very hard. The drive home was emotionally painful. As we walked out of the hospital without the girls I seemed to be doing okay. I was keeping it together until I saw another mom ahead of us with her baby girl, heading to their car. I lost it as soon as I got into our car. I was an uncontrollable mess! Thankfully, I have the best husband in the world! He held my hand as we drove and let me get all my emotions out before uttering a word. All he had to do was say, "I love you." and I began to feel better.
**I'm sitting here typing this and starting to tear up thinking and chuckling to myself about getting emotional, again, for almost no reason at all. **
Not only are the girls in great hands at the hospital but we have the ultimate healer watching over them (and us). God has shown his power in so many ways this week and I know he will continue to do so!
In Him,
Angie K
