I am going to keep it short and sweet. Today was good. Lila was transported back to Newton-Welsley at 1:00pm today. She is currently on a very low amount of Oxygen, eating very well, and off of the IV. Her IV is currently stuck in her head because they ran out of places on her limbs (it will be removed soon but babies veins are fragile which is why the IV moves often). Its looks ridiculous but it doesn’t hurt her. Mandi is doing well too, she is about the same as her sister except that her breathing is a little faster. You will notice a blacklight in the pictures below. It is a UV billi-bed which will reduce her billrubin levels. These are high because the girls did not start eating until recently and so toxins have not been expelled, its nothing to worry about and will go away with their excretions. Mandi is being sped up a bit with the UV light. So that’s that, I’m tired and we have another feeding soon. Enjoy the pics below. Carrie and I are going home tomorrow to spend the day with the boys who we miss terribly.

Love Aunt Lorry and Uncle Paul
They’re beautiful!
hey Jay, Everyone has asked me if the twins are identical?
Amy,
We don’t know yet. Before they were born there was only about a 15% chance, but its looking more and more likely that they are. We will need to get a DNA test. They may just look alike.
