The last couple days have been rough. We had been holding on to the hope that Colby would do well and stay at a level 1 or two brain bleed. Last night we got the news that he had progressed to a level three. We're at a bit of a loss or words...of feelings.......
Avery too is continuing to show signs of a worsening situation with her brain. Her hydrocephalus continues and her head is getting larger. She cries a lot now. You can't hear her because she has tubes into her lungs, but she tries to cry.
Colby gets another ultrasound tomorrow. Thus far we've had a couple tough things happen and we're due for some good news.
About Me

- This story is written from a dad's perspective. We went through infertility for 4 years before we found out we were pregnant with twins in March of 2007. Life dealt us an unexpected hand when Colby and Avery came 3 ½ months early due to PROM of twin A. I started this blog to keep friends and family up to speed on the happenings during our NICU experience. However I’ve been amazed at the interest and support that has come from family, friends and complete strangers. I am moved by the connection that people feel toward our situation and to hear the stories of how our story has in some way helped others through difficult times. Thank you all for your support and compassion during our journey. I hope one day for Colby to be able to read this and know the impact he’s had and the amount of people he had supporting him.

hi scott & Tracy,
Hang in there, you will have ups and down. My son was a 26 weeker and had grade 3 bleed. He is doing very well now. The NICU rollercoaster will soon be over so hang in there. You both are doing great to provide them with love and support... Allison
Hang in there Tracy and Family. Staying strong, just keep sending Avery and Colby ur love and support. They will push through.
Happy 3 weeks Colby and Avery. Be strong and show mommy and daddy some good news. Scott and Tracey, stay strong and let your love shine through. You guys are doing great.
You guys are so unbelievably strong...that combined with your love and visits is what has made them come this far. You're all an inspiration!
I admire the strength and optimism with which you are approaching this difficult experience...it says a lot about your love for each other and your little babies.
