Special Night with the girls!

Aaron and I visited the girls this evening, following a NICU Parents meeting. We heard other peoples stories, some encouraging some very very very sad. We walked away so thankful that our girls are doing so well. We truly are blessed. Sophia's murmur has decreased, which is a great sign and an answered prayer!
Sabrina had a rough night while we were there. She actually turned purple-grey because she stopped breathing, it was very scary. I had to walk away, but Daddy stayed and held her hand. We were both praying HARD! It was not easy to see for either of us. Her hemoglobin levels are very low, and she may need a transfusion before tomorrow. This is very common for a preemie, and as soon as she gets the blood she will be even better than ever.
Sabrina's murmur is still quite loud. Please keep her in your prayers.
She is still doing very well, Sophia is just a tad stronger.
Both of their eye exams came back normal for this age... PTL!!! This means no blindness or eye issues as of yet. They will receive another test in 2 weeks.
I will keep you posted (not even the Drs are worried about their vision).

Doesn't see look like me?
Sabrina after her major spell this evening. Doesn't she look beautiful???
A mother's love!
