The girls both had their eyes examined today. Dr. Coats told us that Rachel's eyes are looking really good. One eye is almost out of the woods so to speak, and the other eye is pretty close behind it. Hopefully by next week they will be out of the woods. Dr. Coats also examined Haley's eyes today, He said he couldn't get a clear view of her eyes. He told us that they were still hazy from the surgery. He did say he could still see plus disease in her eyes. He will check again in a week to see what they are doing. He said it is common to have the hazy eyes after surgery. We hope and pray that her eyes clear up this week. Haley also has not had a positive culture since Sunday for the yeast infection, thank goodness for that. Our Stake President, President Banks assisted Thomas this evening in administering blessings to both girls. Thomas and I have a great love and appreciation for President Banks, He is a great man who knows the Lord and wants to serve him. He has been such a huge blessing to our family. A big thanks to President Banks for always being there for our family. I would say over all the girls had a great day today. Rachel and Haley both continue to grow and develop right before our eyes. We just love being able to hold them and talk to them each night. Our love for Rachel and Haley knows no bounds. We want and desire nothing more than to be able to help them reach their potential. It's all about them. With the help of a loving Heavenly Father we will be able to raise these beautiful girls.How many blessings are they going to give them before they realize it is not working? They practically give them one everyday and problems still arise. So Haley might still be blind and had a severe brainbleed. Sorry, but I don't think there is much of a chance that she will be 100% normal. Rachel has the best prognosis with her mild and now cleared up brain bleed and now successful eye surgery. We shall see.

No positive yeast cultures since Sunday? Clearly their prayers were better than our prayers. Come on people, we can do better than this.

Maybe we need to come up with some OT "curses" to counteract their "blessings."

He did say he could still see plus disease in her eyes. WTF is "plus disease"? |

Say what you will, but those kids DO look better than they did a while back. More like real, viable babies, I guess.
They'll never be beautiful though. Genetics will see to that. |

In a cliff's notes, premies for dummies version, what is the most likely future for these kids if they survive to 5 years old? Will they be functioning at
all? Be able to see, hear, talk, think, feed or dress themselves? I haven't closely followed this, but man if most of the answers are no to my question, it
is a ridiculous waste of money to keep these kids alive aritifically like this. Yeah, that makes me a cold, callous asshole. But these are the kind of
decisions the "death panels" will be making in our future if we have nationalized health care.
