They lost both of their girls.

Syndey and Carynne have now both passed away. I'm sitting here with tear filled eyes not even able to imagine how their parents feel. If you feel like reaching out, even though you don't know them - this is a link to their funeral home and their guest book. I think they may find comfort in knowing how many people were praying for and thinking about them.

Some very sad news

If you follow my blog, you've read about a "virtual" friend and her family. If you go to my older posts you can find the full story. They lost one of their little girls yesterday. It happened far quicker than any of us thought. For those of you that donated to this family, thank you so much. The donations have been amazing. My heart goes out to them.

The dermatologist said that in most cases, a liver hemangioma is only present if there are 5 or more hemangiomas on the skin. However, she wants the ultrasound done since the pediatrician felt something odd with her liver. That appt is Thursday. She also gave us the number of a plastic surgeon to see for a consultation regarding having her shoulder hemangioma removed. I couldn't get in for 3 weeks, but I'm going to call Monday and check for cancellations and to stress that she is in pain. The derm doesn't know if the surgeon will want to remove it or not. She's curious about what he'll say. It really hurts her and we can tell she seems to be using that arm a little less and doesn't like to bear weight on it when on her tummy. I'm a little nervous about her liver, but I'm sure all will be fine. They both go back to the NICU the end of March for their 6 month check up and we can't wait to show them off to then nurses that took care of them!

Keeping track of everything?

Thank goodness for this blog. I have such a bad memory. I have NO time to write in their baby books. I started doing it one day and haven't gotten back to it since. I just sat down to try to remember when Emma's eyes changed from blue to hazel. I do realize it's not the end of the world if I don't have everything recorded, but it's fun to remember and pass on to the girls.
