60 hours old

Just to give everyone an update. This morning they are still working to keep the boys stable. They are doing pretty well considering how early they were born. We are still very concerned with some of the test that have been performed, but we are trying to remain optimistic that everything will work out. Zander at this point has had the most favorable test results. Colin has not done as well. They both have gained some weight, but we are hoping that they do drop soon to show they are releasing some of the extra fluid that they have accumulated through IV's and such. This is going to be a very long battle and we have only just begun. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. Please continue to keep us and them in your prayers.

Also there are so photos at the bottom of this blog for you to look at. We have more and will be posting them periodically.

With love,
Sam, Christian, Holly, Alyssa, Colin, and Zander

Congrats on the delivery of your little guys. It sounds like so far they are holding their own. They have almost reached the 72 hour mark and remember that is huge!

We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
