Thanks for the updates. We're praying for you and your little girls! How are the boys taking all this?
ReplyDeleteFor the most part the boys seem fine right now. It was tougher when Heidi was in the hospital and I was there most of the time. It's hard for them to connect to the fact that they have two little sisters right now, they've only seen them once through the incubators.
DeleteI bet you are so glad to have Sharlene and Del there to help out. Sharlene says you have a wonderful neighborhood, friends, and ward family!!! Wish we lived closer so we could give you a hand.
ReplyDeleteWe are very thankful for all my parents, friends and neighbors have done. We have been amazed and humbled by the response.
