The REVEAL!!!

It's been a quick five days and we can't believe how well the girls have done!! They're everywhere again. They're a little cautious with their heads but we stay pretty close to them just in case they decide to take a dive. We don't want to be bumping our incisions just yet...
Aunt Nan & the twins!

Recovering with Granny...

Rena is determined to stand.


Sophia wants the camera

Cute, even with a head injury...

Me too, buddy...me too.

Don't you just love the tangy sweetness of fresh wet wipes!

We're just playing...

The following pictures are of Sophia's big reveal.

Rena's are unavailable as she revealed herself by pulling off her own bandage just moments before her daddy got in the door after work.

To the faint of heart, the incision photos might be a little hard to take depending on your disposition.

Baby Einstien after all is pretty cute. Baby Frankenstien, however, is sometimes a little harder to, well, you'll see.

(Somewhere in Cyber Space my mother is using my middle name :))

So, we warned you, even in red letters.

Untying the knot

Soph's not sure if she likes this.

Will he incur the mummy's curse??

One...

Two.... Awe man, look at that sweet face!

Two and a Half...

THREE!!!

Wow, man. I mean look at that thing. That's amazing. And it doesn't even seem to bother her that much.

And Last but not least....

FrankenRena.

Rena likes her nice new toy but as it is now officially a biohazard it must be discarded.

Sorry Sweetheart, those eyes don't change nothin' turbin's in the trash!

A Baby Story...Tonight on Sci-fi not TBS


The surgeries were a complete success!! The girls did great and the doctors are very pleased with the outcome. Our audiologist tested both implants after implantation and said that we have every reason to expect good things in the future. Thank you for the many prayers yesterday. Continue praying for a healthy recovery with no infection what-so-ever.

Grace and Peace,

Jeff & Vicki


Getting Ready in Pre-Op

X Marks the Spot!!

Rena's a little loopy and ready to go...

Rena's getting Sleepy...

Soph's wondering when this surgery thing's gonna get started.

Meanwhile... Back in the OR Rena is getting a stylish baby Mohawk.

Dr. Severtson, That's our Surgeon. Great Work Doc!!

Drunk Sophi prior to surgery...

Sophi says its my turn now! She's with Amy, our awesome nurse!

Rena's Back!

Sophi's back too!!

Turbins Times Two

Heading home after having arrived almost 14 hours before.

Rena and Sophi are already covering their heads in preparation for their new cool turbins!

3 days and counting...

We made the decision today for the cochlear implant and the ball is rolling. We're picking out magnet colors and accessories...how much fun! Pray the girls stay healthy for their surgeries on Friday. Sophi started crawling yesterday so they are both mobile now. We'll have to create a padded post-op room for them in the house! Five more weeks and they will hear their first sounds...what a miracle!
