Second Update

Just wanted to post a quick update about Michelle and her twin girls, Audrey Elise and Norah Isabella (both Elise and Isabella mean "pledged to God"). The girls weighed in at 4 lbs. 1 oz. and 4 lbs. 2 oz. and were born at 33 weeks. They are both doing well and aren't needing any help with breathing. They are absolutely precious (since they're in Texas, I've only seen pics and video). Michelle had developed "cholestasis", and her gall bladder and liver weren't functioning. The doctors were hoping that once the babies were delivered that everything would return to normal...that hasn't happened yet. Michelle has to meet with more doctor's for some more tests (just what every new mom with twin girls in the NICU and a 4 year old little boy at home wants to do, right?!). If things don't return to normal functions, they may have to remove Michelle's gall bladder. (Again, just what every new mom wants to do is have surgery!!) We are keeping our fingers crossed that it doesn't come down to that.

Thanks for your prayers. We are so glad that everything went smoothly and that both girls are strong, healthy and doing well. Can't wait to meet them! :)
