Emma and Dylan are both doing very well. These pictures were taken at 17:00 on the day they were born. Since then they have become a bit jaundice and so have LED sun tanning lights over them. They have really cute shades to protect their eyes from the sun tanning lights. The shades have very small sun glasses printed on them. They look all too cool. Dylan has a slight heart murmur which the Paediatrician is monitoring. He is confident it should grow closed soon. Emma is quite a bit bigger than Dylan but both are feeding well and the Paediatrician is very happy with both of them.
Update on Anina
Anina is much stronger today. She got out of bed for the first time last night just to sit in a chair. By this morning she was mobile and took a shower. They took away her drip and stuff as well. She now goes to visit the kids in a wheel chair to conserve her energy to play with the kids. She loves that.
The doctor told Anina this morning that the condition she had since last week is called HELLP Syndrome. This is an illness after Pre-Eclampsia which can lead to serious liver failure and even strokes. The doctor believes if the babies had been born 24 hours later then both of these would have been likely. We are very thankful it all worked out so well but this explains why Anina was very ill yesterday and the day before, after the operation. This morning the doctor said her likely discharge day was likely to be Saturday, one day longer than normal, but this has been everything but normal.
Must go, fatherly duties calling,
