I am so excited to be down here with my quadruplets!
The big bonus is Summer (my first born) and I drove down together yesterday so I am getting to spend time with both my girls!
AND the babies!! OH, the BABIES!!!!
Kailey Lee! The BIGGEST eater of them all and the heaviest girl.
Don't get between her and her food!!
(Just like her mother!)
Kailey eats and sleeps. And poops......a LOT!
Look at that tiny little hand!
Trystan Lee! This little girl is so ALERT! She watches EVERYTHING and stays awake much of the day. She is quiet - not fussy -but keeps a close eye on all that goes on in the NICU.
Summer held Trystan! Look at her SMILE!!!
Trystan always seem to have her eyes open!
Logan Lee.....aka 'Peanut!'
The smallest at birth but an OVER acheiver!
First to breath room air - on Day ONE!
Amber was thrilled to have ALL her babies being held at the same time!
Mike held Kailey......
....and I held Harrison!!!
The FIRST time I have held one of the babies!!
NO pic line! NO IV's!! Just a feeding tube!
What a difference PRAYER made for little Harrison.
This was the scene in the NICU just 13 days ago.
NO more medicines!!
Thank you all again for the gift of prayer on behalf of these quadruplets!
I teared up a bit when I was holding Harrison!
When Summer and I left the NICU we stopped by the 5th floor on our way downstairs. I REALLY cried a little as I walked the familiar halls on the way to the former 'Quad Squad' room. Words can't tell how GRATEFUL I am we have a happy ending to the quad birth story. Amber is recovering well. The babies are all growing.
Thank you to the nurses who cared for my daughter all those 57 days!
And thank you for the nurses and staff who are caring for my tiny preemie grand quads! I am so thankful for wonderful people who are 'called' into this ministry of nursing! The doctors are wonderful - but OH, those NURSES make ALL the difference in the world!!
God Bless You, EVERY ONE!
NOW! Amber and Mike stayed at the Ronald McDonald House and Summer and I came back here. I have to rush off now! Heading back to the NICU!
Today I get to hold KAILEY!!!
(She is a 'mini - Amber!')
A lovely, lovely post, my Dear!

"...in comfort and quiet, seemed vary attractive. The trees would be bursting into leaf, the grass turning green, the birds beginning to sing. Perhaps the sun would shine, it would be warm."

The babies are all so beautiful, but I have to admit a huge lump in my throat at the sight of Harrison looking so robust.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the quads. They're growing so fast thank goodness. They're sooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteLove reading about their progess.
Not to be cynical but I was wonder if the quads were conceived naturally. I have been trying to conceive for five years I was just wondering If your daughter had any tips.I love the quads. God bless their'll be in my prays.
