Update on the Girlies!

This is Sara, updating for Barbara.

Things are going well for the Sims family. Barbara is expected to get released today! The girls won't be home for a few days still, but at least Barbara (and Robert) can sleep in their own bed for the first time in a while.

Chloe is now completely off oxygen and both girls are working at feeding from the bottle and/or breastfeeding. They actually both still have feeding tubes, because they are so small that the action of eating burns more calories than they are gaining from the food. (Oh, that we would all lose weight by eating).

They'll come home when their doctor thinks they are big enough and when they're able to eat without the feeding tubes. Keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers that this is sooner rather than later!

On to the note that you've all been waiting for. They are, of course, EXTREMELY cute! Here is some pictorial evidence.
