The fact that they let you touch them, even though they are so small and everything is good. That is usually a very good sign.

Sam - I'm glad you got to see the babies - they are beautiful little ones! I'll continue to keep the family in my thoughts.

Everyone is doing well, considering they are 2 weeks old & just about 30 weeks gestationally. Miss Ellie might need to have some surgery to fix her PDA since its not closing. Thanks for the continued thoughts & prayers - they are definitely working If you want to see some updated pics of the babies, you can check out their blog: www.theishumquads.com

If anyone thinks about them, tomorrow Ellie is having surgery to close her PDA. Knowing that its a common surgery with great results is somewhat comforting to mom & dad, but its still really hard to let your 3-week old daughter have heart surgery.

Update again on the kiddos: theishumquads.com/Everyone has been doing well, and they should be getting to come home soon (within the month). But the littlest was accidentally potentially exposed to HIV through some mixed up breastmilk in the nursery Please keep her in your thoughts/prayers. Its going to be a long six months until the test results come back!!

I'm sorry to read about the mix-up. I'll be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure everything will comeback great in 6 months!

I really hope your sister follows up with the hospital's negligence regarding the breast milk. That is completely unacceptable. * Best wishes to the quads & mom & dad. What a roller coaster ride.

Sam, I've been following the blog since you posted about the quads and love seeing the pics (and your daughter in there too!). Make sure your SIL knows that I think she's awesome and the comment about having 4 babies instead of 3 was helpful for her OCD cracked me up! Glad to see all the kids are healthy and growing
