The twins are still in the hospital but are out of the incubator. Jeff Long's wife, Colleen got to hold them! They are breathing on their own and gaining weight. One of them weighs 1.1 Kilo and the other weighs 1.3 Kilo (2.2 lbs per Kilo). They will be released from the hospital when they are 1.7 Kilo. They are still being fed by tube so they'll have to learn to drink from a bottle soon. But we had a breast milk donor come through, so thery are getting proper nutrition! Thanks for all of your prayers!
Rose and her husband have not decided whether they will give the twins up but even if they keep them, they will need lots of help. Their house has two rooms that are each about the size of a large closet. She has no running water, refridgerator, stove... Needless to say, it'll be difficult. There are bigger problems overall in these communities than we could fix in this short of a time or even have the expertise to know how to help. Maybe birth control education, microlending, or something of that sort could help... Keep praying.
