Keira doing better

>Conor bathing

So Keira is doing better.  They are taking her off of the antibiotics but she is still in level 2.  Her belly is back to normal but she hasnt had anything to eat for 48 hours.  This afternoon they are going to try her on a special formula that is already broken down so that her belly wont have to digest so much.  If she starts to get bloated again they will put dye into her intestines and watch it on an xray to ensure that there are no blockages in her intestines that are causing this problem.  It doesnt seem to be an infection as her blood and urine cultures came back negative. 

I got to hold her today which was nice as I havnt been able to for a couple of days.  She just slept in my arms.  She did gain weight and now weighs 4 bls, 2 oz.  Conor is still doing well.  I bathed him last night and the water got a little cold.  He was not impressed.  I just am not quick enough at changing his diaper and swaddeling him b4 his bath (he is swaddled while I wash his hair and face to keep him warm).  Now is growing out of some of his clothes.  My mom got him cute outfits from Mother Care in England and is almost too long for it : (  I will have to get more pics in those clothes! 

I went to church yesterday for the first time in 3 & 1/2 months.  It was nice to go back but very emotional.  It was one of those services where God really knew I needed to hear some stuff and where better than church.  A verse was up on the screen while communion was happening and it was 1 Thesselonians 4:14.  It basically said that those Christians who have died before us, we will see again when Jesus comes back to earth.  I’ve always knows I would get to see Cadence again when I died or when Jesus comes back (whichever sooner) but this verse said it perfectly and it was just the comfort I needed to have that day. 

And it was also great to see my church family members.  So many had been praying for me and the babies and I am so thankful for that!
