I'm happy to report that the girls' pediatrician was very impressed with how well Holland handled this virus. Given her history, it wouldn't have been surprising for her to end up in the hospital. She is clearly recovering from the chronic lung disease that resulted from being on the ventilator for so long, and she fought off this recent virus much the same as any other baby would. That's HUGE! Let's hope that Eden does as well. Eden is not on the nightly pulmicort breathing treatments, but she has been better at fighting off bugs in the past so hopefully it will go okay.
One piece of good news that I just HAVE to report... Eden is BABBLING!!! She says MAMA!!! She says baba too, but did I mention that she says MAMA??? It's her favorite word, and I think she knows what it means. She says it all the time, all day long. Pretty amazing if you ask me, considering that just over 4 months ago she couldn't even HEAR! She's talking!!! She's amazing!!!

Way to go Holly fighting off a virus like that. Awesome!
YAY!!! What a clever little girl!
How on earth do you get it right that Holland doesn't eat the crayons??? My kids eat every damn thing they find.

MAMMA! What a wonderful thing! But I never had any doubts that they were both destined for greatness!! The story unwinds each time they achieve something else. Smooches and get well hugs to Eden!

Fabu! So glad that Holland is better and hope that you will post that Eden is on the mend soon.
I'm so glad to hear that - despite their illnesses - that both girls seem to be doing so well. You seem in good spirits as well and that is good to see, too. :)
I'm glad that Holland beat the virus! Now if Kelsey could only do that! :)

Chase, our preemie, was born 11/28/04. He was 1 lb. 12 oz's. He was 24 weeks also. It's fun to read about your children. I'm glad they're doing good. Keep posting their accomplishments!
