Our little miracles!!

Miracle - an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs. That is what Skyler and Keller are...miracles. And it's not just because I think so, even Dr. Walker says it's a miracle both of these little guys are alive.


So, I got the low down from Micah. Shelly was actually able to see S&K last night for a short visit, but quickly began feeling nauseous. They retired to their room and tried to get a good night sleep. Today has been another good day. Shelly got to spend some quality time with her boys and had some visitors. Micah and Shelly got to talk with Dr. Walker again today. It seems these babies are quite the hot topic...or at least their home (placenta). Dr. Walker has been studying it and showing it to other doctors because he is just amazed at what a unique setup they had. Before delivery Dr. Walker threw out an option to terminate Skyler to give Keller a better chance at staying in the womb longer. Of course this was not an option in Micah and Shelly's minds as they had faith that God would be protecting these little guys. It turns out Skyler was working off only 5% of the placenta and sharing blood supply with his brother. Skyler's blood would be pumped to Keller and then back, but only after most of the nutrients and oxygen were taken by Keller. This is why Skyler has been fighting so hard in there! After this discovery it was explained that termination of Skyler would have immediately killed Keller. Luckily, with the strong faith of Micah, Shelly, friends and family...two beautiful little angles were born yesterday.


I think we can all agree that God is playing an important part in these boys lives, but if you are still unsure...this is a picture of Keller in his incubator. Take note of the symbol that appears above his head in the burned out light bulbs....miracle!

Ok, so miracles aside...the status of the babies is good! They have had a day of stability and that's all we can keep praying for! Shelly is also doing well. All her IV's and tubes are out and she was free to shower, walk, and visit her boys. 


All in all today was a good day! While I didn't get to visit today, Patrick and I will be taking the Big Boys this weekend. I hope I can once again fill their days with fun and laughter in the midst of this crazy time!
