So heres the story... we found out i was pregnant in April, at 10 weeks, my first ultrasound we were stunned to find out i was having twins.. it was'nt untill 26 weeks that i found out they were girls!!
6 days later to my surprise i went into labour and had an emergency c section and had my beautiful gurls alana(oct 17th 12:14am) weighing 960grams and Alexis(oct 17th 12:15am) 1024grams. they were imediatley seen by a team from sick kids, and 6 long hours later they were finnally brought into my room were i saw them for the 1st time for 2 minutes before they were taken to Womens college down town. where they stayed and a day n a half later i was finnally transfered down there so i could see my little gurls.
we went from watching them lose weight to gaining weight, being on many different machines to off them than back on.. starting and stoping increaseing and decreasing their tube feedings from only being to "hand hug" or touching them to finnaly being able to hold our little gurls...
On nov 17th our daughter alexis, who was increasingly geting healthyer by the day took a turn for the worst and got very sick.. to the drs surprise she was able to fight and semi stabalize herself enough to be transfered to Sick Kids where she fought her hardest but sadly passed away Monday November 19th in our arms, surronded by loving family members. it was the hardest day of our lives and we miss her more than words could say but in our hearts she'll remain forever!
With our other daughter still at womens college made it very difficult, although harder than ever we managed to stay as strong as possible for her. She started growing stronger and stronger as each day went by, she was finnaly moved up to a level two nursery where we got to do much more with her, change her diapers, weigh her, hold her bath her. after a week or so there she was transfered to Centenery hospital where she remained untill she was able to completely eat on her own. on New years eve we were finnaly able to bring our little miracle home after the longest 68 days of our lives.
