From NICU till now.

These first 2 pics are of Finn on the left and Breana (an hour after they were born) 9th of December 2000, at 32 weeks.




These pics were taken on the 28th of Dec 2000 of Bree in her travel incubator, when she was being transfered from NICU to Greenlane hospital for her first heart op on the 29th of December, Bree was 3 weeks old and weighed 1680g (just over 3 lbs) she was the smallest baby ever for this heart op.

 

These pics were taken when the twins were 4 months old (2 months corrected) April 2001. We were at Dean's cousins wedding. Breana is in the lavenda top and Finn is in the dark blue. At this stage Bree still had an NG tube, but we took it out for the day. She was able to do about 50% of her feeds orally by then.

 

These photos were taken profesionally by Craig Balme, who also did our wedding photos. They were taken when Finn and Bree were 10 months old (8 months corrected) Oct 2001.

It was one week before Bree had her open heart surgery. Finn was weighing 18lbs (8.5 kgs) and Bree was weighing a huge 10 1/2lbs (4.9 kgs)

 

Bree just moments before her 2nd heart op on the 9th October 2001, Bree was 10 months old that day. Pics with mum and with dad and Finn (Bree is pretty drugged up at this time)
