Brenna & Babies!!!

Emily here, filling in for Geoff ;)

Brenna was able to go this afternoon to see Riley and Quinn. The nurses were very accommodating as Brenna still has her IV and all and said it's the fastest she's ever had someone get up after a c-section. When I spoke to Brenna tonight she said that seeing them was by far the best "medicine" she received all day!!!

Here's Brenna finally with Riley....

Brenna said that the nurses flipped Riley on her back so that Brenna could see her and that she began wailing. When Brenna touched Riley, Riley calmed... already knows her mommy!! What a blessing for Brenna to have that moment with Riley today.

Brenna finally with Quinn...

Brenna was able to spend about 50 min. in the NICU with them today. She is doing well and her pain is being managed well too. She sounded great!! They are tired but are resting now in their rooms. Brenna should get the clear in the morning to be able to be up and in the NICU more often. She hasn't gotten to hold them yet but as they see how they do in the next day or so she should be able too soon.

Riley and Quinn are doing well. Quinn is still off of oxygen and on the CPAP to help with his lungs since they still need a little more developing. They said they would try taking him off a little tomorrow most likely and see how he does. They really expect just a few days for him to "catch up" and he might soon get to go to the next level down nursery. He is in an "open" crib( i think with a warming bed or light) as he is maintaining his temperature well.

The doctors all say that Riley looks really good too - she just needs to put on some weight so she'll be able to hold her temperature on her own as well.

Continued praises for how they are doing and prayers that things just keep improving!!! Pray for good rest for Brenna and Geoff tonight after their long and exciting day!! As they move into the 2nd 24 hours, pray that Riley and Quinn tolerate their feedings well.

Thanks for your prayers! Brenna and Geoff really appreciate it.

** Also, in case some of you saw it before the correction - the nurses had originally written down Riley's length wrong and she was 15 3/8 inches, not 14 3/8 inches. We'll take every inch!!!!
