In mijn gedachten, Yvon.
Oeps, zó klein! Ik hoop dat het vechtertjes zijn!

 

[taxed4ever]

Sending loving thoughts to your family and their sweet tiny ones!! Hope that they will be able to take them home soon all nice and healthy! Those girls will be fighters for sure! Such a miracle!

 

[3littleks]

What an amazing story! I am so glad they were born not too early and are doing ok. I will be keeping them in my prayers. <3

We went to visit the little girls.
They are sooooo small!!! They have a little cap on their noses where one in a while comes out some oxygen with something-something to help the lungs. They are breathing on their own.
They still are doing pretty good. The smallest has light therapy now.
The back od the girls, shoulders to the end of their to big daipers LOL fit into my hand!! So tiny.
They are about 38 cemtimeters long.
My SIL is doing really good, she's coming home this sunday. But the girls have to stay in Nijmegen.

Do you guys have Walmart overseas?? I always could find preemie clothes at Walmart. Though at first, blankets and diapers were all we could do because clothes were so big.

Lots of love to the girls Yvonn!

 

[cellomom]

Congrats, Yvon!!! still praying here for those tiny sweeties!!!

 

[mrstoa]

Yvon - loving thoughts and prayers - to you, your family your sis and the 2 precious babies

 

[veer]

Thanks everybody!

The babies where born this morning, 5am.
2 girls!! 1200grams and 1300grams. The girls are breathing on their own! They are doing pretty good for time of pregnancy.
My BIL will call us tonight or tomorrow, he was to emotional to speak

Congrats Yvon !!!
My daughter weighed 1.150kg at birth, she was more than 3 months in hospital. Because they are so fragile, they are vulnerable to infection. But they little fighters and in good hands !

 

[timounette]

I just discover your post after some holidays. I'm so happy for your family and these 2 little girls.
Congrats Yvon !
Hugs sweetie

[yvonnahenna]

Thanks everybody!

Here's a picture of the girls. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n298/imkekeijsers/e6f347deb9b7f4c7f163f8c6499af131.jpg putting just the link no prev. Picture may be a bit shocking for some people? Sorry for that.

They get to lay together in the 'couveuse' (no idea about the english word, incubater?) a few hours a day together. But they keep eachother awake, so it's only a few hours LOL
On the picture it looks like lotte is smaller than her sister, but that's not true, they are exactly the same size LOL

The pediatrician said she was 'extremely satisfied' about how the girls are doing! I'm so proud of the little girls when I heard that!

 

[faerywings]

They are just perfect!!! I am so happy that they get to spend time together, I am sure it would be much more traumatic for them to be separated. Congrats again!!

 

[petey111]

Awww. So sweet Yvon. I am so glad they are doing well! They look so much like my little one! They will do great!!!

 

[VickiStegall]

extremely satisfied is a very good thing!

thank you for sharing their picture. I love how they are snuggled up next to each other.

 

[Ellen]

oh how cute , good they keep them together for a few hours so they won't miss each other.

 

[yvonnahenna]

Just heard the news that the oldest has an infection.
She's really sick.

 

[VickiStegall]

oh no. prayers going up now.

 

[Alegna]

I will pray for her!

 

[yvonnahenna]

Thank you ladies.
I know they get home every day around 3pm. So I'll try to call them this evening. Ask how the little one is doing, and what kind of infection.

 

[veer]

Just heard the news that the oldest has an infection.
She's really sick.

As i told you prematures are prone to infections, their resistance is not big.
Fortunately they have at such premature department a lot of experience with it. Jolien had an intestinal infection, although she had several infections. It ensures that they dwell with the grow, first they need to cure the infection.

But they will be fine Yvon, big hugs !!!

 

[faerywings]

Good thoughts to her- and to all of you. ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

 

[yvonnahenna]

Just heard from my sil, the little one has an infection on her intestines.
She's really sick, she's on the breathing machine (please tell me the english word for this), and she's fighting for her life.

 

[veer]

My thoughts go out to the parents and family, and hopefully she get well really soon !!

 

[faerywings]

Oh no

Breathing machine= ventilator but we totally know what you meant.

Love hugs and tons and TONS of good thoughts to her and to your family and you too. Please keep us posted.

 

[yvonnahenna]

Thanks Chris for the correct word

It's not getting any better.. The little one had 2 brain hemorrhages (google tells me it's this word) yesterday.
Bil is deciding today what to do, stay at the hospital the whole day, or stay at home 1 day with their little boy. And the other day to the hospital.

I did some groceryshoppings for them. And when they get home this evening, I'll go and bring them over. Than I more, and hopefully I have better news.

 

[LaurieW]

Prayers for them. Brain hemorrhage is common as their blood vessel walls are thin. Once they get the infection under control she won't have to work so hard.
