Visitors

Grandparents, aunts, and uncles were able to get their first glimpse of the new, precious angels, Avigail and Deacon, today. They are both off their respirators and on CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). Although they are definitely small, they appear to be bigger than we anticipated. Their hands and feet are fully formed with long fingers and toes. They even have hair on their heads, although we can't see their little faces with the CPAP machine and pads on their eyes. There are lots of tubes, but we are encouraged that each one has a purpose and they are functioning as expected. It is anticipated that Tami will stay in the hospital until Friday, when she should be discharged. Both Tyler and Tami are holding up amazingly well. Although Tyler loves to show off the babies, I think it is exhausting taking everyone up to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) see the twins. Only one person can go with him at a time and each trip takes about 15 minutes. With so much family, that can be brutal. They anticipate the babies to be hospitalized about 3-4 months. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
