Way to go Riley! She is definitely a fighter! You're going to have to remind her Mama of that someday when she's a teenager and she wonders when she got to be so obstinate and determined. She was born that way!

Hugs and prayers to you all!

I am SO happy for and proud of OUR little girl! I look forward to hearing about her taking on the rest of her life in the same manner, fighting anything that gets in her way!

Now I'm looking forward to the Riley/Blake reunion -- they may not be able to say anything, but I know they miss one another and will be so happy to be back together.
 
Carolyn, you sure aren't kidding about those Doctors! I remember my Dads heart surgeon, after my Dad woke up from his many heart surgerys, would say to my Dad, "Joe, you make me look so good"! Thank God for our incredible Doctors! And of course, there's something to say for one heck of a baby girl that refuses to back down!!! She is already a leader! I can already see her in the future saying, DON'T tell me I can't do that, you just WATCH me do it!!! I think she and her brother are going to grow up to be two really special people in this world!!! I'm also thinking it's about time YOU start thinking about two very special ponies for them. LOL!!!! OK, I'm off my rant, prayers continue........
 
You know, I just don't feel I have said thank you enough for all you guys have done for our two very special babies.

:baby I know I have said before, but there really aren't enough words. But what I do hope for, if you are reading this and you have offered the babies prayers and our good thoughts, it is you I am thanking. Each and every one of you, sincere thanks. There is no way all of this would of happened with out all of the wonderful doctors, a very determined mom, a wonderful supportive family, prayers warriors, prayer groups all over the country and YES YOU!!

You have all been just the best and I appreciate it so much. Where else could I have gone to at 3 in the morning, but here.

There is no need to think of a special pony for the twins, she is already here! Actually the twins chose her, really! I picked up Queen of Hearts from Getitia the day after I found out we were going to have twins, but she wasn't to be for them. Getting this horse was NO easy task, she is truly VERY special and it took a lot of whining on my part for Getitia to let her go. But after a few temper tantrums Getitia agreed so I'd stop and get a life!! Not really, well the whining part is true, Getitia is just one special person who was willing to share the wonderful quality they have produced. Heart is my first pony and I've got to say, one of Buckeye's best! Anyway, we later found out both babies had a heart condition. At that point the twins chose Heart as their first pony as well! Heart is a very special pony, Getitia is as kind as they come, these babies are truly special, and a gift! It just all fit!

I have already started a photo album of Heart for the babies, a long with a log with each picture, telling her age, why the picture was taken, I took a picture of Heart the day we found out about the twins condition, I took one they day they were born. All other special events I will do the same, including shows for Heart, and milestones for the babies. That will be their present on their first birthday. No, they won't understand that day, but I hope it is special to them later on down the road.

Riley continues to improve, not much more medicine or machines to take away, those are gone. Just getting stronger every day! Blake had a doctors appointment and his heart still doesn't know it's only working on 3 chambers!! All good as that delays his surgery more, almost promising they will be able to combine 2 surgeries into just 1, and that has got to be better for all!!

To you, yes you:

Carolyn, I am so excited for you and your family. That is just the most wonderful news I have heard in a long time. I am so happy I have tears that little miss Riley is doing so well!!! Those doctors are Angels. I will continue to pray for Riley and Blake.

I cant wait to see their little precious faces. Thanks for the wonderful news!!!
 
Yay! I have been following all along, but haven't posted (computer is SUPER slow).. but WOW! YAY!!!!

Best wishes!!!!
 
I am just so, so happy for all of you! Your daughter is such an amazing person. Having dealt with one heart baby going through surgeries - I cannot even imagine doing it with two. But there is indeed something truly special about these little miracles - and you will continue to see that even as they grow and move past these scary times.

Both babies remain in our prayers and I am just so happy that things are moving in the right direction for both of them!

Carolyn-

So glad they are doing well. Sounds like it won't be too long now until Riley is home with her family. Prayers continuing for Riley and Blake. So glad they have their first pony.

Barbie

They're strong little fighters and I'm sure they'll be home and doing fantastic there in no time at all.

. Got the best phone call yesterday, "mom? I got to hold Riley".

Riley still has a wire or two, so out of respect for my daughter and her request, I won't share pictures until the last of them are gone,,,hoping soon!!! Riley has just been remarkable! Blake is up to 6 11, told you he was eating like a champ,,,or his dad!
 
What wonderful news to wake up to. So glad little Riley got to feel her mom's arms. Prayers that she is home soon. We want no wires so we have pictures.

Barbie

I'm so delighted to read all the wonderful news about the babies. I continue to keep all in my prayers and praise God for all these wonderful miracles. I can hardly wait to see pictures of these precious babies!

God bless,

Joan
 
I read this thread everyday and am always thrilled to hear of their steady progress after the trauma of their birth and the last couple of weeks. Praying that little Riley will soon be free of the last wire and tube so she can go home to be with her twin and all the family. Those doctors have certainly helped a miracle happen - they are the best!

Still sending and will continue to send prayers for the little ones, you and the family.

I am happy to say we still have 2 improving babies!

Riley has been given a feeding tube to eat, but only because the vent caused some irratation in her throat. The specialist have assured them it is only irratation and they will try a bottle again in a few days. The feeding tube is helping her to grow stronger, and that she is! Blake is good, hanging out with big brother, and family. The last 2 days a little stressful as their 2 foot of snow kept them at home, but should be able to get back to the hospital this morning, and all will feel better!!

Thanks so much for your continued thoughts on our improving little ones!

Oh, I leave Tuesday morning for NY!! Mary Lou, expand your space,,,pictures when I get home on Friday!!
