Hallelujah, both girls waived off surgery! Based on their echocardiograms at 5pm this evening, Evie's ductus was barely visible (a few pixels per Uncle Jerry), and Maggie's was small, almost tiny. So, they have been given a reprieve. We will continue to monitor their hearts as there is still a possibility the ductus could increase in size again. But Mom and Dad are very thankful that surgery isn't necessary at this time. Thanks for the prayers!!
Both Evie and Maggie got kangaroo care today. Mom held Evie and Dad held Maggie (after he got off his long conference call). The girls loved it, as did their parents. Thanks to God for another good day.
