Needless to say Jonathan and Natalie have their hands full today so I (Jennifer, Natalie's sister) am updating the blog for them. As most of you know, the babies were delivered early because of Natalie's condition. She had preeclampsia and her swelling and blood pressure was of concern. Since the delivery she had continued to have symptoms as well as a low hemoglobin as a result of the blood loss during the operation. Yesterday, after a couple of scary episodes, they decided to give her a blood transfusion. This has helped her hemoglobin levels but her swelling and blood pressure are still of concern. The doctors have all reassured us that this is all due to the preeclampsia and it will just take some time for her body to recover. Please continue to keep them in your prayers. As for the babies, they are doing wonderful! Luke is very laid back and little Madison is not scared to voice her opinion. Despite Natalie's condition, she continues to feed them and they are both latching on great. I should also mention that sweet Jonathan has been wonderful not only taking care of my amazing sister but also very hands on with the babies. As of right now, the doctors are taking it day by day on when they will be coming home. Again, please keep all four of them in your prayers.
