I have 25 weeker twins that were born almost two years ago to the day yours were. We are praying for your sweet babies, praying God heals Drake and praying for your strength. God works miracles and he hears our prayers. <br />Psalm 91:14-16 says: Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them.

When my 24 week twins were in the NICU, the song "Before the Morning" by Josh Wilson gave me comfort and strength during the hardest times. It kind of became my theme song to remind me of God's love for us even in the darkest times. If you get a chance, you can see it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0704_oGFX1w.

He is one tough little guy! <br /><br />I believe that the NICU staff is comprised of angels and they are particularly fond of the precious micro-premies. My little girl spent a week in the NICU in Austin and those nurses were amazing to us during our short time there. But, no matter how great they were to us, they we miracle workers for the micro-premie in our bay. I truly believe everyone in the NICU felt like she was their own and were determined not to let anything bad happen to her on their watch. God had placed your babies in loving and capable hands.<br /><br />Hang in there parents. You are stronger than you ever thought imaginable.<br /><br />God bless you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-46388868286268768232012-07-13T14:47:09.395-05:002012-07-13T14:47:09.395-05:00Praying the diuretic works...sometimes old school ...Praying the diuretic works...sometimes old school is still the best!
