Another good day! There really isn't much to report - both kids are still breathing on their own and doing really well. Addyson got HMF added to her milk (Braden has had this for quite a while already). These are extra vitamins that they add to help them grow and get stronger. 
As of last night Braden had no A's or B's for the day and Addyson only had 1! They are doing great and we did our daily skin-to-skin which went well!
There was a new baby born that became our new neighbor and he didn't seem to be doing that well - alarms kept going off and the dr. was working with him a lot. And our other neighbor just wasn't having a great day either according to his parents. It made us sad for their families and reminded us not to take for granted just how awesome our little ones are doing. We have so much to be thankful for!

Every time I read your blog, my eyes fill with tears and I am thankful! Your babies are beautiful!! Ryan, you'll have to keep an eye on Addyson--her eyes and her smile are simply lovely!! Christy, it won't be long until Braden practices heart-stopping escapades (as I recall his father doing)!
ReplyDeleteYour sensitivity to other families is an answer to my prayers. II Corinthians 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
The babies are precious! It is difficult to grasp just how tiny Addyson & Braden are, but the pictures help. Thanks so much for taking the time to blog and keep us all informed. We will continue to pray for all of you. Vonna, Steve, Reags and Carli

Thanks you for keeping us updated with your blog! Your family is my prayers daily. It's good to see how God is caring for each of your little ones. I hope you and Christy are holding up well. I pray for your strength as I know the traveling and being away from home so often can be exhausting. I can't wait for you to take those babies home, but in the mean time, your in my prayers. -Heather Wiens
ReplyDeleteChristy and Ryan,
ReplyDeleteWe will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. The song from Sandi Patty came to mind, *taken from the Apostle lyrics website*
"Before you had a name or opened up your eyes
Or anyone could recognize your face.
You were being formed so delicate in size
Secluded in God's safe and hidden place.
With your little tiny hands and little tiny feet
And little eyes that shimmer like a pearl
He breathed in you a song and to make it all complete
He brought the masterpiece into the world.
You are a masterpiece
A new creation He has formed
And you're as soft and fresh as a snowy winter morn.
And I'm so glad that God has given you to me
Little Lamb of God, you are a masterpiece.
And now you're growing up your life's a miracle
Everytime I look at you I stand in awe
Because I see in you a reflection of me
And you'll always be my little lamb from God
And as your life goes on each day
How I pray that you will see
Just how much your life has meant to me.
And I'm so proud of you
What else is there to say?
Just be the masterpiece He created you to be."
May God Bless your family! Diane K.
