It's been a long day, but a good one. We spent a lot of time with Abby and Emily, as well as with many friends who came to visit. Both of the twins continue to stabilize and improve overall. This evening Emily reminded us that she is still very young by forgetting to breathe for a few moments. The nurses were able to encourage her with just a little stimulation. So it was no big emergency, just a reminder that Emily and Abby are very young and are still working on the basics.
All of the nurses are amazed by Taryn's progress. Apparently it is very rare for someone, after a c-section, suffering from preeclamsia, and on the medications Taryn was on, to get up to the NICU to see their babies the same day of their surgery. They were equally amazed when Taryn woke up this morning ready to walk on her own, as well as hold and feed the twins. Of course in all of her amazing feats of strength and recuperation, Taryn did get a little behind on her pain medications and was forcefully reminded by nature that she is, in fact, human. But after a few minutes in bed and a few very nice pills, Taryn was back on her feet and back in the NICU with Abby and Emily. But now enough is enough and Taryn is ready for a good night sleep again after enjoying lots of baby time and lots of time with friends and family.
