Before we left for ICRS last week, we went to Northside Hospital to visit our friends the Hunts and their twins. Many of you know and check on their twins through their Caringbridge site. But, if you haven't heard about this family please check their site for the story of miracles and blessings. These little girls were born at 25 weeks (40 weeks is full term). They were only 1 day older than the cut off Northside has for considering them "viable"...meaning if they had been born one day earlier they would not have been helped to live. What a miracle!
Since the girls were gone that night, we headed up to the hospital and spent some wonderful time with Nicki, Steve, Callie, and Sarah Kate. It was amazing to see them and behold how great they are doing. We took Nick and Steve out to dinner and enjoyed time to fellowship and catch up. It was great to have about 2 hours just to hear how the are doing and to encourage them.
Then, we headed back up the hospital and were able to see (with Nicki and Steve) the girls in the crib together for the first time! They had not touched since they were in Nicki's tummy. It was amazingly peaceful and there was a flurry of cameras, videos, and tears. It was so precious. God was so kind to allow us to be there with them for such a monumental step.
Thanks to all our friends who follow and pray for this family. They are always encouraged by the comments people leave and the prayers lifted up for their family. It was truly a blessing to see these gifts from God!
