Hello friends!!
I wanted to send a quick update on the Hay triplets because I know everyone is curious. First of all, thank you for your continued prayers and support for each of the Hay boys! The doctors continue to be so impressed, and Jeff & Sabrina know that God is answering everyone's prayers for strength and development for their sons! They were able to bring Micah home last night. Jeremiah and Noah will continue to be in the hospital for a little while. Noah will probably be the next to come home this following week. I believe Jeremiah is still on a feeding tube, however, they are out of their incubators and all sustaining normal body temperatures. Micah is still very slow with his bottle, Noah is continuing to learn and Jeremiah is the next to try. I also believe all boys are now over 5 lbs.! Amazing!!
Bringing the babies home while leaving other(s) at the hospital does bring it's own challenges however. Now that Micah is home he cannot visit the NICU with his parents. Plus, medical personnel is advising them not to allow visitors at home throughout the flu season and they will not be leaving home much either. Sabrina has said that she delivered these babies at a very bad time of the year, the beginning of flu season! Please remember that these are special needs babies at this point and their health and development depend on them avoiding sickness of any kind. So, as much as we are all dying to get our hands on them, the reality is that mom & dad have a very big job of keeping everyone well throughout these first very crucial months. They will not be allowing visitors and all meal deliveries to their home at this point must be arranged when Jeff is home to come out and pick up the food from the driveway. We all know they will be very anxious to share the boys with their church family, so please help us spread the word that the boys' premature immune systems will not handle many visitors at this time.
Of course, they have a tremendous support system with all the family in town. Please contact any of them if you can't reach Jeff or Sabrina in the next few weeks. Jeff is still working most days and Sabrina's mom will be around as much as possible. If you would still like to help with meals, please contact Crystal Ennis at crys259@yahoo.com. Sarah Kaelber and I have also had many other ideas about their needs this year. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact either one of us. Finally, continue to lift them in prayer each time you think of them. They have been so richly blessed, but to whom much is given, much will be required! I know they have felt very supported by their church family so far. Thank you for each and every prayer!
