Lissy’s breathing and blood pressure seem to be stable today. She is having some additional complications which we won’t know the implications of until tests on Friday. Landon is doing remarkable. They have removed his breathing tube and have him … Continue reading
First off I just wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming support. We really appreciate it and it gives us strength and encouragement. I also wanted to let everyone know about something I was thinking about. Sarah has been part … Continue reading
Sarah was discharged this afternoon from the hospital. She was healing so well they let her go home a day early. It is very tough for us to leave the twins, but we live so close to the hospital that … Continue reading
Due to Sarah’s condition she spent most of the past day and a half in intesive care. This morning she was allowed to go meet them for the twins for the first time. The twins are still doing well. We … Continue reading
Sarah so far is doing fine. She recovering from the preeclampsia and the hellp syndrome. She will hopefully be able to eat this afternoon and they are expecting to move her from the ICU to the maternity ward today. Below … Continue reading
Landon is doing excellent this morning. They are slowly turning down the ventalator assitance because he is partially breathing on his own. Alissa still needs the help of the ventalator, but she has been stable overnight. Here is Landon’s picture. … Continue reading
Both Lissy and Landon are continuing to do well. Landon is quite stable at the moment. He is on a ventalator to assist his breathing, but they currently do not have to give him any added oxygen. Lissy is also … Continue reading
Here is a picture of our little lion. She has been doing pretty well considering her size. She is in excellent hands. Landon is also doing very well too. I hope to have one of “Lan the Man” soon, but … Continue reading
@ 6:32 “Landon Aaron” entered this world weighing 700 grams (1.5 lbs). @ 6:35 “Alissa Jean” (aka Lissy the lion) followed her brother weighing a mere 389 grams (0.8 lbs). Despite their extremely precarious situation they both are defying the … Continue reading
Sarah has been having epigastric pain (pain below the rib cage like indigestion). It could be many things including indigestion, however, it is possible it is a sign of the pre-eclampsia worsening causing trouble with the liver. The doctors have … Continue reading
They are watching her very close today as things did not go well for Sarah last night. We are waiting for blood work results to let us know how they will proceed.
Sarah had a nice quiet night (spent with her mom) with great bps. Again she had good blood work results. Let’s hope for another uneventful night!
Well we got a little good news and some okay news (I’m trying to be an optimist so there is no bad news). First off the okay news: the girl is estimated at 457 grams (up from 400 grams) and … Continue reading
Sarah had a rough night and morning as well, but it all settled down. Her bp went up a little throughout the night, but by lunch it came back down to a really good level. They ran the blood work … Continue reading
Sarah’s still doing good today, not much changed from yesterday. We are having our next ultrasound on Tuesday to check up on the babies. We’re hoping the little ones put on some weight!
Now that my BP is more stablized and I am feeling better, I just wanted to check in and assure you that I (and the babies) are doing just fine. It is unfortunate that I couldn’t get any bedrest time … Continue reading
Sarah’s bp keeps coming down and this morning was pretty darn good. The 24 hour urine protein test results finally came back and they seem to be inline with the daily protein tests (not perfect, but not bad either). If … Continue reading
Today marks the start of week 25. Sarah’s bp was up a little yesterday, and so was her urine protien. They don’t seem overly concerned yet as her blood work still looks good. This morning’s bp was back down a … Continue reading
From Tony’s comment: “have the doctors given a range of time that sarah might have until giving birth?” Preeclampsia is unpredictable. Some last several weeks or even months while others will only be able to hold out a few days. … Continue reading
Sarah’s bp rose back up again today. Blood tests as of 6pm showed her organs are still doing fine. We spoke with several different doctors today and we pretty much have a good understanding of everything that’s going on so … Continue reading
Sarah and I both want to thank everyone for the support and positive thoughts coming our way. Thanks … Continue reading
After some more testing today a quick urine protein test showed no protein (good sign). Blood test also showed no organ problems. Blood pressure has come down a little today. They did some doppler blood flow tests on the babies … Continue reading
On Saturday and Sunday Sarah wasn’t feeling well. Sunday night we decided to go get a blood pressure meter as she was showing signs of Preeclampsia. Sure enough her blood pressures were high. They had us come straight in and … Continue reading
Today we found out that the girl (Twin B) is not growing as fast as the boy. The medical term is IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction). She is measuring at about 21.5 weeks and he is measuring at about 23.5 weeks. … Continue reading
