Sunday

Had a great church service as usual.  This afternoon we took Sudi & Howard with us to Whiskey Joe's where we met Nancy & Rod, Becky & Jim, and Karen and David.  We had a fun couple of hours visiting and reminiscing!  Fun times!

It was a gorgeous day here so that made it even better!!

The baby girls are doing about the same.  Rowyn needs to be able to eat more formula before she can go home, and Oaklyn  is holding her own. 

Here they are at 5 days and the second picture is of Oaklyn's meds, fluids, nutrients, etc.  Bless her heart!

 Oaklyn's on the left, Rowyn on the right.

Saturday

Since this is the 3rd Saturday, we had our monthly breakfast at the clubhouse.  I loved the eggs this morning...and I even ate a pancake (without syrup)!  There was a full house - lots of people!

I took a nap for a little bit, while Dave and Bob finished up with Bob's place until they put the piece of wall in.  But now that Gary and Barb are heading back, they went over there and cleaned for them.  They also raked the leaves in their yard.

Kyle & Cassie got to hold both babies today - yay!  Rowyn still isn't eating well and Oaklyn is improving!

Friday

I've been so confused today and I've been dizzy!  I thought this was Monday all day. 

Little Oaklyn seems to be holding her own yet today and Rowyn is doing well with a few typical preemie issues.  Kyle & Cassie are going back to Iowa City to see the girls tomorrow.

Thursday

Today saw a bit of improvement for Oaklyn.  Thank you, Lord.  She is still in the PICU, but after they changed some of her meds, she's doing a little better.  She will now have her surgery late next week if she continues to do well.  Cassie was released today, but the babies will stay for a while.  Hopefully Rowyn will be released in a few days if her feeding stays okay. 

As for us, Dave and Bob worked all day in their 2nd bathroom.  I went to WW where I'd lost 6.2 pounds in 6 days.  Hope I do well next week!

Weds.

No word about Oaklyn until around noon today.  She made it through the night without surgery - yay!  AND, some of her bad levels were down today - yay!!  Way to go, Oaklyn!  Keep those prayers coming!!  Meanwhile, both Kyle and Cassie got to snuggle with Rowyn...yay, again!

It's really cold here tonight - maybe will frost - yuck!  Warmer weather is on the horizon, though!!

B&B

I want to ask everyone to pray for little Oaklyn.  She's got some heart issues and may need to have emergency surgery right away.  She is so fragile,  They're hoping to keep her stable until she grows a little.  Rowyn, however, is doing very well.  Please keep the Bennings in your prayers.

Nothing else is important tonight.  Thank you!

Monday

This is a special day!  Kyle and Cassie's twins were born today! 

Meet Rowyn Kay and Oaklyn Eileen - our great, great nieces!  This picture doesn't show it, but they both weighed 4 lbs 14 oz and were delivered by an emergency C-section!  Welcome to the world, girls!  Can't wait to see Blaise when he sees them!  We love you already!!
