Haley is doing relatively well. There was some talk today about her going into surgery on Wednesday to reconnect her bowel. We hope they will follow through with this, so that she can have that behind her. Haley had yet another eye exam this evening from the pediatric ophthalmologist surgeon. He said the left eye's retina appears to be attached since he reattached it last week during her surgery. We are grateful for the positive news. She won't have good vision in that eye as we were told by the doctor. He said if her retina stays attached she might be able to see shadows or light. The right eye they are monitoring very closely because it is starting to build up scar tissue which can either heal on its own or can detach the retina. They will continue to monitor it closely. So we continue to wait and Haley will stay at TCH. Please have a special prayer for her as well, so that in her right eye her retina will not detach.

Amanda and Thomas, I will start to pray exactly 8:30 for Rachel and during the day for Haley every time I have a chance. Please tell Haley what you want to happen. Whisper in her ear with a soft voice. Tell her that her retina can heal and be healthy. Use her breathing to get into her own personal rhythm. Say it slowly every time she exhales. Say it over and over. Her body may be immature to understand what you are saying, but her spirit is not. Lots of prayers and love. Claudia

I was sitting by the foamy squishy bridge thingy when an adorable little girl walked up the steps of the bridge. She stood right in the middle with her arms stretched to the sky. I applauded her and exclaimed, "Look at you! You're so TALL!"

From across the room, Sy must have been listening, because not a minute later, he was there. Struggling to get up on top of the bridge. And when he does, firmly planting his hands, getting his feet up under him and shooting his tiny bum up in the air (picture downward dog with less flexibility), yelling, "SO TALL, MAMA!"

Trying to hide my tears, I exclaim, "You are so tall, Bug. You're very, very tall."

And he is. Even though he's small for his age, from a medical standpoint he shouldn't have survived. He's taller than anybody ever thought he would be. And he may not be able to stand up on his own yet, but he's doing much more than anybody ever thought he would do.

He's our big tall miracle, and I'm so very proud.

what faith promoting testimony i gain from your blog and from the comments made here. i am so grateful that you them share with us.

by this time of day Rachel has had her bronchoscopy - with all my heart i pray you have received good news from her doctors.. that she will continue to improve and soon be rid of the cpap.. i know i don't understand all that is going on with her, but i pray all will be well with her and her sister Haley.

Haley will see, if not with her eyes, with her heart. she will be blessed in all ways. Our Father in Heaven is so aware of these little ones. we are all praying for good things for these miracle babies.

its really cold here in Midvale, Utah, but my heart is warm thinking of you and your babies and your love and testimony.

Thank you!!!
