Carr Babies Home at Last ~ Family Expresses Gratitude
Story and photo submitted by Ashley Dellinger of Ashley A Design& Photography - Visit her blog for more:

"Cale and Adeline Carr were due to be born on February 2nd 2010. At 20 weeks into the pregnancy, Elizabeth (Bessie) was hospitalized in the Van Wert County Hospital due to placenta abruptio which caused Addy to get fewer nutrients than necessary for proper growth during the pregnancy. While hospitalized, Bessie also experienced preterm labor which led to an emergency c-section, on Oct 13th 2009, at almost 24 weeks into the pregnancy. Cale and Addy were rushed to Lutheran Memorial Hospital in Fort Wayne, IN; Addy weighing 15 oz., and Cale weighing 1 lb., 7 oz. There, the twins received loving and supportive care from the staff who was with them during the first 6 months of their lives.  While at Lutheran, the twins had a tracheostomy to be able to easily receive breathing assistance and had a gastric feeding tube (button) to help with feeding during this developmental period. On April 29th, Addy and Cale were transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH where they received treatment for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Cale and Addy were welcomed to their home in Wren by mom, dad, and older brother Lane on September 22, 2010. Over the past five months Addy and Cale have grown tremendously and have made giant developmental leaps. They both have increased lung function to the point where they only need extra oxygen but no pressure support. They are now sitting on their own; Addy loves to cruise the furniture and Cale is able to use sign language to "voice" some of his thoughts. They are working on many other developmental milestones. Along with their significant changes they have both grown in weight with Addy now weighing over 18 lbs. and Cale weighing over 19 lbs. 
 

We are incredibly thankful to everyone for all of your prayers, support, and encouragement during this time. We could not have made it through without the support of our loved ones, and are incredibly blessed to have these little ones in our lives." 
 
Blessings to all of you,
The Carr Family
