Prayer Request

In all of the postings I have made here, I never really mentioned much about our Daughter and Son in law other than their strength and trust in God. Please pray for their continued strength, physically, and spiritually. They are not able to go home and are staying in a Hotel, so this is a whole life altering situation. Pray they can get the much needed rest as well as the spiritual strength they need. They have a wonderful church family, Pastor and Pastors wife and friends and family that give them lots of support and love. It is a trial for them as they continue on this journey. they are so proud of their little Angels and Myra. God has truly blessed them with a beautiful family. Guys, we love you!! And all the Gammy time Myra wants, we are ready!!!

Wow, Look at that Boy

Take a look at this little chunker. Meet the new baby Miguel, at 7 weeks old. He is doing fantastic!! Please pray for Micah, he is at KU Medical Center due to the infection in the reservoir and they had to remove it. Due to Dr being out of Country and other partner Dr. not doing their hospital yet, they had to move him. Pray the infection clears up really quickly so he can be back with his brother and slow down the long days for Mommy and Daddy. We are believing God for no long term effects from this or anything else!! God has brought these little troopers a LONG way!!!!

Both boys are weighing 2lbs 11oz. Amazing progress. Thank you Lord for all that you are doing with these precious bundles!!! Mommy and Daddy get to hold both boys now and they are just loving it. Cuddle bugs!!! LOL What miracles they are!!! We ask you to continue to pray for both boys, and especially pray for baby Micahs tummy issues. In Jesus Name there is no more trouble with the hole in his intestine.

Progress Update

Boys are doing so well. God has truly touched these little Angels!! Weight is going up steadily, Miguel doing so good on Mommy's milk. Soon Micah will get Mommy's milk again. Imagine his weight gain and growth when he does get mommy milk. He is a real trooper. Thank you God for what you are doing with these precious little bundles. Gammy can't wait to hold and cuddle with them!!! Baby Myra is just loving her Bubbas.

Weight Update

God is still working miracle after miracle!! Every day is something new. Micah had the PDA surgery as well and came through it just fine. Thank you Jesus!!! Both boys' ventricles are doing great. God is moving by leaps and bounds with these boys!! Soon they will be crawling around and into everything! How exciting that sounds!!!! Look how big they are getting!!

These little fighters are going to be a tremendous testimony for the Lord someday!!!!

Photo Update






Baby Micah on 22 August 2009. What amazing progress with this little miracle boy!!! God is truly working wonders on baby Micah. Be careful Miguel, Micah is catching up so fast!!!!





Baby Miguel all snug in his bed. What a joy to see all that God has done in such a short time with these miracle Angels!! Miguel, Micah is gaining ground!! LOL. You look great big guy!!

We love these boys so much. What joy and excitement every time we hear news of progress.

"The BUG" AKA Big Sister Myra

Meet "The BUG" AKA big Sister Myra. Many of you may remember the battle in the beginning of Myras life. She also was a preemie, but as you can see God truly blessed her and made her a beautiful BIB sister. She loves her bubbas, and loves to go see them. She is going to be a fantastic big sister. Gammy loves it when she calls me at work. I love to answer the phone and hear my precious little Grandaughter say " Hi Gammy"!!! Her auntie Jo Jo "Squirt" loves her. We are looking forward to many more "Gammy" weekends!!!

2 Pounds and Counting




Both little Miracles have passed the 2 pound milestone. What a great miracle. They have both made awesome progress by this point in their tiny lives. Mommy is loving the snuggle moments with her precious little Angel Miguel!! At this point even the Dr. was willing to admit that Micah's progress is a miracle!! that in itself speaks volumes when a Dr will admit that a miracle is the only explanation for progress like this.

Hydrocephalus

Both boys had Hydrocephalus and had to have a shunt put in to drain the excess fluid in the ventricles in the brain. As Gammy, when I heard this I was heart broken at first, worried of course. But again, God sent peace and made me realize this is just a procedure to drain the fluid and prevent added problems. Another testimony that our daughter and son in law are so trusting toward God. No negative words come from their mouths. They just continue to trust and believe and testify of what God has done and is going to do!!!

Steady Weight Gain


Both boys have made tremendous progress at this point in their little lives. Miguel weighed in at 1lb 14oz, and Micah at 1lb 11oz. Wow, God is truly a Miracle Worker!!! Our daughter was able to hold her son, Miguel. Micah will be soon. What a joy!! Talking to her on the phone was such a joy. This is 1 proud mommy!! Her and our son in law are so happy and excited. They can't wait to hold and cuddle both of their little Angels!!!

August 13

Miguel doing great from his surgery. His eyes are open....... yeah!! Micah's eyes are still shut but he will be right behind!! Micah was at 1lb 10oz this day. Miguel was not weighed since he had surgery yesterday. Progress in a major way!! God keeps working miracles. Micah did have a procedure done on his little tummy on the 10th to drain the waste. His progress has been great. Strong little Angels!!! I want to mention how proud we are of our daughter and son in law. They are so faithful and true to God!! Even through all of this, they do NOT charge God foolishly. Many people may have raised their fists at God and asked Him WHY???? BUt through all this, you can always catach a smile on their face and nothing but Faith coming from their mouths!!! God is blessing their faithfulness!!!

Baby Miguels upcoming heart surgery

Baby Miguel was diagnosed with a large PDA, which was going to require surgery. After my daughter called and told me this, I began to weep. However, after realizing it was not a major surgery I felt the Peace of God. These boys are truly fighters! What a power team they are going to be for the Kingdom of God!!!! Day after day God just performs miracle after miracle on these little Angels!! Miguel came through his surgery fine and is stable. Oh the thought of what God has done and is going to continue to do with these boys is almost overwhelming!!

Sunday August 9

This is the day Baby Micah got his PICC line inserted. Doctors noticed some discoloring in his little abdomen, which the Dr. thinks it may be Necrotizing Enterocolitis, (hole in his intestines and it leaks into his little abdomen) but he was not showing the typical symptoms of this. He is a fighter. Only God knew at this point that it truly was what baby Micah had. He is such a fighter. God is in control. Prayers are truly coveted for these boys.

Gammy's Birthday Present

Today (August 8) was my birthday, and I was able to go see my precious Grandsons, and "The Bug" of course. We had a good time. Great birthday present!! What precious little miracles laying there, totally dependent on God. the hand of God is truly at work here!! Boys are doing good. Miguel received a PICC line this day. God is wonderfully awesome. Can't wait to hold these little Angels!!
