The last 3 days have seen some improvements in Faith and Makaila's conditions. Three days ago, Makaila managed to remove her ventilator tube again, and so they decided to put her on CPAP. She has continued to do really well on CPAP and her reliance on it for oxygen is very minimal. She has had a few cuddles with Karyn and these have gone very well for Makaila and have been a huge highlight for Karyn, something she has really cherished. We are very encouraged and we just keep hoping and praying that she can stay on CPAP.
Faith is still on the oscillator, but she seems to be doing well on it. Her oxygen levels stay fairly level, she has been crashing far less, and really only needs to have her oxygen levels upped when she is handled. The goal with Faith is to wean her slowly off of the oscillator. This means gradually dropping the pressure, the breathing rate, and the oxygen level. Once she is less dependent on the oscillator, they will move her to CPAP. We are not sure how long this will take, but it will at least be days before she can be switched over. She has yet to be stable enough and long enough for Karyn to have a cuddle with her. We hope that in the next day or two, this will be able to happen.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Blessings,
Graham

Thanks for the update...it is always refreshing to hear good news, it reminds us that the Lord is in control and that He is working in these precious lives...and in all of ours too, as we journey along side of you all! It was great having you and Isaiah at mom's group...you have been dearly missed. We look forward in seeing you soon! Our family continues to pray for the girls, and for you as you continue this journey, and make a point of sharing your story with others so they too may pray.
Blessings,
Hey you two, glad to hear that the little twins are continuing their journey of life. It's great to hear and see you're updates. Just got the blog from the Wiens'.
