My husband's sister had twin girls that were not as tiny as your precious babies, but were born with many health problems and spent from Father's Day until their actual August due date in the NICU at Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
We weren't given much hope for Jenny, in fact I stayed with the other twin several times while the parents had to take the 3 hour drive back to Baltimore because Jenny was not expected to make it. It was tough having one twin in at home being tube fed, and the other in a NICU 3 hours away.
The happy ending is that both girls survived, and are turning 21 this month. Jenny is busy planning her weddding which will be on the 21st of this month.
I share this with you, because, even though the twins were behind in development in the beginning, they did grow up, and they do have lives.
Colby is beautiful, and I wish him the best of everything. I am so sorry for the loss of Avery, but I like the idea of her being his own angel watching over him.
You have such a wonderful family, and deserve much happiness, and I wish that for you.
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.
