When we first delivered the the babies and they gave us status reports on them and how exactly sick they were, the nurses and doctors had mentioned that it is going to be a roller coaster of emotions. This is much harder than they could have prepared us for. The boys seem to be switching daily who is the sicker of the two, but they are still fighting and that is all our family can hope for. The nurses have been great at keeping us updated on the progress of our boys. The doctors have been wonderful as well as what they seem to do has been working. We are by no means out of the woods, but every days challenge seems to be met by the staff. It is many small victories that allow us to keep hope.
As far as the progress goes, Colin and Zander still have many of the complications of being preemies. Their lungs have not developed well, blood pressure issues, and all around changing stats as they adapt to their new environment. The nurses and doctors are working around the clock to stabilize our boys and every time they think they have it, something new is added to the mix. These are going to be daily struggles. We appreciate the well wishes and the prayers as they have gotten us this far, please continue to remember our boys as they continue to fight through this. Mom and Dad can never thank everyone enough.
With love and appreciation,
Chris, Sam, Holly, Alyssa, Zander, and Colin.

Thanks so much for posting the updates! The boys are adorable... so tiny but such fighters. Sam and Chris - please try to take care of yourself, too. You must be exhausted. If I can do anything to help, please let me know. Love, Aunt Barb
I would like to say thanks as well. It is great to hear that they are 6 days old and that they are such strong little fighters. It sounds like the staff is doing an awesome job. Take care of yourselves and know that you have tons of support and don't be afraid to ask them for what you need.
