The end of a chapter

The NICU chapter of our story is closed! After spending the last 87 days in the hospital, all of the Anderson girls are finally home! We came home and thanked God for carrying us though. Whew!

We decided not to transfuse Evangeline because her red blood count has been trending upward, and since she has been tolerating it so well they only expect her to get better. We are thrilled to take her home at 4 lbs.! She still has obstacles ahead, so we welcome continued prayers for her wellness.



Happy Father's Day, Daddy!





Thank you Thank you Thank you for all your prayers and support through this journey- how can we thank you enough? You have blessed us tremendously!

As you can imagine, I gotta run! this. is. insane. Don't leave me now, Jesus :)

    I believe Evangeline is lifting her hands in praise for God's Goodness and thankfulness that she is with her family : ) Continueing to pray but a little differently.... that the rest you do get will be sufficient for all your needs. So happy for you!

    I heard a little of your story from my sister-in-law (Megan Terrell) and she sent me to your blog. I haven't read it all, but can very much identify with so much of what you have been through (including that first moment of shock in the ultrasound where I just kept repeating "two what??"). My 11 month old twin boys were born at 30 weeks and were in the NICU 2 months. I would be more than happy to connect with you if you're interested and offer any feeding/scheduling/survival tips. I had one weaker one who was on oxygen for 7 months, but we were able to tandem feed most of the time which was a lifesaver. Please don't hesitate to email me at alisonjakaitis@gmail.com and I'll be happy to give you my number.
