First things first, the babies are doing well and the nurses have started feeding them 2ml of milk. Yeah.. it's not much but since it's formula milk, the nurses are playing it safe for the babies. The best milk comes from the manufacturer... i.e. The Mother. ;-p

More Updates
Sharon looked a little pale today and surprising Dr Nair dropped in on us today pretty early and he ordered blood tests for Sharon. As it turned out, Sharon was pretty low on the blood level and he ordered 2 pints of blood. Woah! When the blood was being dripped in, you can't help to wonder whoes blood it belonged to and if the collection agency (HSA) did what it was supppose to do and check all blood received. If you think about it, blood transfusion is a pretty scary thing.. you could be getting some diease from someone not well and you inturn get sick. Not funny man. Moral of the story -> If you are a blood donor, donate with the right intentions and ensure that you are WELL when giving the blood. Also be honest when filling up the questionaire on your health history and sexual activities. Do the right thing.
Well anyway, once the blood came in, the drip rate was rather slow and increasing it cause some discomfort for Sharon. So the nurse slowed the rate down. I know the adjusted rate was too slow cause after about 3 hours, the blood level in the packet only dropped like 1/4 of the way. Blood like all living things, needs to be "consumed" when fresh and with it going so slow, that was not a good thing. So came in the nurse again and adjusted it again. This time, the drip was so fast that any faster, it would become flowing. Soon the blood was gone and it was replaced with another packet. The second one went pretty quickly as well and it only took an hour. Even the nurse was suprised at the speed she "consumed" it that I started joking about how Sharon was actually a vampire in disguise. Hahaha. Hopefully the blood transfusion worked for Sharon and she could remove the painfull IV needle stuck at her hand. ;-(
If you have noticed, not a single pic is up yet... no, it not that I don't have a camera with me, it's that I have it but I need to do quite alot of processing and sorting before I want to put it up.. So many things to do, so little time. I promise I will get it up next week when Sharon is back home and I have a little more time.
For the babies, I check in on them whenever I can and they are pretty much sleeping most of the time and cry a bit when moved. hahaha... Overall, they are well and they need to catch up on the weight and they are getting a little jaundice(caused by the liver not being able to clear the toxins as yet) Other than that, they are getting on fine. Again, I can't help to thank all friends and family members in their prayers for the 3 angles. Thank you so so so much.
It's getting late and I have another big day ahead of me. Gonna catch some zzz and as usual, I will update the blog again tomorrow. ;-)
Love,
Mommy, & Daddy
