Good Friday

Today was another unforgettable day. We started the day with Rebecca and she had an excellent night and day today. They've started talking about taking her intubation tube out which may happen this weekend. She had another echo-cardiogram today that showed the same as the previous ones. Her case was presented to the cardiac surgery team today as they do every Friday. The plan is to insert a balloon catheter into her heart when she gets to the 5.5 # range. If she were to require it before, then they would attempt it but it would be very risky because of her size. Today we expected the results of Joanna's genetic testing for any chromosomal abnormalities. We were with her this afternoon when they got those results. More of those tears of joy started coming uncontrollably. God again has answered our prayers and spared her of that complication. She has been taking mommy's milk like a champ. They even increased her feedings to 2 mL every 2 hours and she is digesting it just fine. They decided to give her kind of a free day to relax and to adjust to no Nitric Oxide. We enjoyed some more visitors today. My parents, sister and brother-in-law, and Jessica's brother came to see the girls. Although short, we had a good time with them sharing our good news and little princesses. Some time later I will tell you about the couple we met tonight at the Ronald McDonald house. It's one of those cases where you don't meet by accident. God put them in our life for a specific purpose.
