Day Four

Last night around midnight we received a call after going back to our hotel that Haylee and Rylee graduated from NICU level III to level II. They have been doing so well maintaining levels to justify the move. The one thing I’m having a hard time adjusting to is that in level III they had their own private room together with their own nurse. In level II, they are essentially in a ward with 6 other babies with a few nurses who rotate around. I hate that there is so much activity going around and I just want to be able to be with them by their bedside with my wife and their grandparents. Besides that, they are doing very well again today. Still not able to have kangaroo time but we know in time we will be able to hold our girls for the first time!

Also, as we were driving to the hospital a very well played song came on in the car and I had to fight back tears. I hereby dedicate “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten to Haylee and Rylee. Please take a listen if you haven’t already and keep them in your prayers! Stay Strong!
