Here is the email that I got this AM from my MIL:
2 Pieces of good news:1) the PIC (peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines)in the boys are probably going to be removed, they are feeding so well that the IVs (that is what the PIC lines do along with antibiotics) are no longer needed. Eric is still having the breathing apnea but that can continue to happen till almost 34 weeks(or even longer) so it will just take some time for him not to do that and is extremely common in newborns(99% of preemies have this). Both kids don’t have any breathing help, they are breathing on their own.
2) The best piece of news is it looks like they may have fixed Mary’s blood pressure. It was 130/80s last night and this morning it was in the 120/70s. However it has to stay consistent for a long period of time so keep your fingers crossed that this will continue. This is the lowest it has been since she checked into the hospital.
Praise God for this awesome news!!! Poor Mary is doing her best to keep her spirits up, but it's been a long road!! Okay, and I was also able to get my pictures to my computer so here are the boys. Will is the first and Eric is the second. They look like they are "glowing" because for a little while they were under the billy lights for a little jaundice. Usually you could just put them in the sun, but in the NICU that's hard to come by. And they don't have the things in their nose anymore. But until I get more recent pictures, these will have to do.
I just love the little "sunglasses". Okay, well that's it from me again, time to go get a few things done before it's time to go pick up the big kid from school!

Oh so precious! I didn't see the other update until now but will add them to the prayer list. Glad to hear things are on the upswing already!
