This seems like such a long time coming. Exactly 2-months and 2-days in the NICU for Dylan. Looking back, it has gone by so slow. He has done relatively well for a 29-week baby as he is still going home 13-days prior to his due date. We are very proud of the little guy.
Tomorrow starts real parenthood. We are a little nervous, a little scared, and a lot excited. We have become so reliant on the wornderful nurses here at the hospital, but tomorrow, we are on our own. I am sure we are experiencing the same feelings many first time parents face, but we have learned so much in the last 2-months of this journey that we almost know too much. I guess having a baby in the NICU gives visibility to how much could go wrong.
So as we leave tomorrow morning, our macro-prayers will be 50% answered. We will have our sweet Dylan home, but we will be forced to leave little Kaylan here all alone. We are pleading with God to not let her stay be much longer. So knowing she will be here for a while we are anticipating tomorrow will be
Please stay in prayer that the twins will not have to stay separated for very long. Thank you also for all the prayers that have been lifted up on Dylan's behalf. Tomorrow, when we leave here, we are leaving with one testimony to the power of prayer. We can't wait until the second testimony is complete.

Jennifer and Landon,
I am a high school friend of Jennifer's Aunt Kathy. We were really close friends in high school and recently reconnected on facebook. That is where I first heard about you guys and your blog. I have been following it regularly since May. You see, besides sort of knowing you, my daughter had a similar experience. My little grandson, Braeden was born at 2 1/2 pounds because of several complications including the reversed blood flow issue. she was able to carry him to 34 weeks, so his size was the biggest hurdle for him. He spent 5 weeks in the NICU. That little spitfire started Kindergarten this week! He and his younger brother are the light of my life.
I felt compelled to write you guys because I have so enjoyed your blog. Hearing about the ups and downs, along with all of the testimonies of your obviously strong faith in God, has been so inspirational. I am SO excited that Dylan is coming home!! I am sure it won't be long until little Kaylan joins the rest of her loving family.
Please don't stop your blog once they are both home. Although I think you might be too busy to write daily, I sure would love to hear about all of the great things that are happening with these 2 precious miracles.
May God bless and protect your little family.
Michele Desrosiers-Carter
