So there have been a lot of really cute posts of our little boys, but I now officially have a favorite (well, next to the day that they were born). Yesterday the boys got to be moved back together to share a womb room with each other. It was so sweet. We were able to catch the moment of their reunion.
....when we stopped back in later that night, we actually caught them holding hands. So sweet!
In addition to their cuteness, everything else is going well. Both boys are on "full feeds" (which means that according to their weight they are getting the maximum volume of food) and their digestive systems seem to both be working properly. Yeah for that!
There are a few continued prayer requests. Thank you for praying specifically with us for these milestones (forgive the non-medical explanations):
Sullivan might have to get a blood transfusion. Many preemies require this, but we would like to pray that it is not necessary. His brain has not reminded his bone marrow to produce red blood cells just yet (because he is still so young). Although there are some small signs of this red blood cell production, the medical team would like to see the count a little higher. Please pray that on Saturday/Sunday when they check his blood again, his system would be producting the cells the he needs.
Camden's belly still looks a little "loopy and distended". Basically, you can see little tiny valleys on his belly...those are his intestines. His belly (bowels) still sound good and he is going to the bathroom, but the swollen belly is something to continue to keep an eye on. This can lead/be a sign of infection and we wish to pray against that!
Thank you so much! We love hearing your comments and love sharing our miracles with you.
Happy Memorial Day...thanks to those who served our country for our freedom!

The picture of them holding hands is THE SWEETEST!!!! Makes you never want to separate them again! Oh so precious!! That's a frame worthy picture for sure :) Will pray for those specific needs AND for you guys!
The boys are cute together, they will be running brothers from this time on. God has granted them the wisdom to be strong so keep on keeping on Sullivan and Camden. Cheryl and Chris you are amazing parents. God will hear your prayers. Cheryl Tyer
