Some of you may already know all or most of this. The babies were born this morning at 9:48 and 9:49. They were able to establish an airway on Baby A - which they named Carson David. They plan to do an MRI soon, maybe tomorrow, to view the mass and strategically plan a surgical removal as the mass is very complex and very large. Baby B's weight is 3 lbs, 13 oz. and they won't know an actual weight on Baby A until the mass is removed which they are tentatively talking about Friday to maybe next Tuesday. Elizabeth was quite nauseated and is on clear liquids - and is pretty sore. She has been transferred back to St. Marys and will begin pumping milk for the babies. She will be able to get a 'pass' to go see the babies daily. All heart and other major organ functions look good on both babies from what they can tell. I think that's all we know for now. As we hear more I will pass on more info. Please email me if you don't hear from me.
They have not named Baby B yet as Elizabeth has not even gotten to see him yet. She will tomorrow and we may have a name by then. Baby B even had to be intubated becase of being born early and lower birthweight but has already been extubated and is doing well. James and Sarah spent most of the day with the babies. The were on 'baby duty' and were there when the baby was extubated. James recorded the baby's first cries and took it to the rest of the family to hear... :) Please continue praying for miracles for the removal of the mass and not complications! The doctor came in the evening to really explain alot to the family. The doctors really aren't even sure what all is involved with the mass at this time so the imaging that is planned will really help them
