Well, my plans to play dress up with Dylan today were hindered by the fact that the little tyke LOST weight last night! Bummer! Actually, it was only like a half of an ounce, but enough that he wasn't eligible for me to start putting clothes on him. I think he knows what's coming...oh yes, that's right...onesies, footies, booties, hats with ears....don't try to fight it Dylan. Tomorrow is the day so just go ahead and fatten yourself up tonight!
Our little Kaylan hit the one-and-a-half pound mark today. Her little belly is really big (for her) right now. The battle she is facing is that the CPAP tubes on her face blowing air into her lungs is filling her tummy up with air. They are increasing her feedings as well so she's full of milk and air and it's causing some stress on her tummy. She's not quite ready to come off of the CPAP (due to lung maturity). But, they are still increasing her feeds every 12 hours.
We're praying that she and Dylan can soon graduate from the CPAP tubes! It just blocks their faces and we barely know what they even look like without them.
Is it only Tuesday? My days and nights are really starting to run together. Still. one. day. at. a. time.

Just had a few minutes to catch up on the last few posts. The Fariss family is still in my thoughts and prayers constantly. I can hear the weariness in your hearts. It's definitely been a long haul for you guys. You are so right to take it one day at a time, even one minute at a time. Keep handing the fear and exhaustion of spirit over to him, again and again, and He'll keep sustaining you beyond what you can do. I know you see it now, but you'll see even more in hindsight. Can't wait to see them and you!
Hey Girl,
I am glad to hear that Kaylan is growing...she wants clothes too...and BOWS of course! I love her little crowns. I pray Dylan is big enough for dress up.
Love,
Megan
Dylan...gain weight but fight the "cute little clothes." If it has non-essential pieces and is monogrammed, don't let them do it! Kaylan...I know you have some of your Granddad in you...just let that extra "air" in your belly BLOW! We know you can do it!!!
Jenner and Landon, Hang in there. Please let us know exactly what we can be praying for for you guys. Do you need help of any kind (house, yard, anything else to catch up on...)? As you focus on your precious little miracles, let those around you experience the blessing of serving you.
Praying for strength, faith, and an ever growing relationship with Christ. Just remember Romans 8:38-39. You belong to Him and nothing...NOTHING...can separate you from His love, in Christ Jesus.
Your brother...Jud
