Quite an eventful day for Sawyer. They tried him off the ventilator. He stayed on the CPAP (which is what Zoe's on - constant pressure mask) for about an hour today before being reintubated. It was a lot of work for our little guy and he made us very proud for the effort he put in. It's not unusual at all for him to not be quite ready to breathe all on his own yet. He needs to develop and grow a little more before he's ready for that. They'll probably wait about a week before they try again. The good thing is that he does really well on the ventilator with pretty minimal support. He burned a lot of energy working to breathe on his own today so he was really tuckered out after that. He lost a little bit of weight last night too but he had some great poops too. What our little guy needs is time to grow into his big personality.
Zoe put on some more weight last night and is almost back to her birth weight. She seems to be eating and resting well. She also has tolerated her care times well. We are just hoping that she continues to do so well.

Thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you soon. Sounds like Sawyer is a determined little guy.
Good for you, Sawyer, for trying so hard. You're a strong little fellow; keep on keepin' on; lots of love and good vibes coming to you, your sister and your Mom and Dad from Uncle Pat and Pam.
Congratulations on your beautiful babies. It sounds like they are doing great. You are all in our prayers. We cannot wait to meet them. What a blessing a boy and a girl.
God Bless you all!!!!
Love,
Shawna, Bill, Jack and Henry
Hello Friends!
We can't wait to meet your new additions. Hang in there and know that you are ALL in our thoughts and prayers. You are both very strong people and we know your kiddos have that in them as well! Thinking of you...Love, Ralph, Christy, Trent, & Colt
My house guest just left so I now have time to tell you 4 how much I love and admire your energetic joie de vivre. Go Youngs!!
Nana’s report…
Because of my inconvenient cold, I’ve stayed away from Margo, Neil and the babies for a week. Not being able to see, touch, feel, smell, had increased my worry level. So I KNOW how you all feel! Today was huge for me. I spent time with Margo, Neil and some friends; heard them laugh, saw them smile, and felt their strength.
I saw such improvement in Zoe and Sawyer from 8 days ago. Zoe was on her back with her arms snuggled in. She is beautiful and her coloring is Margo. Margo will soon be able to hold her I’m sure. Sawyer, although still tinier, was lying on his side, sleeping peacefully, with great color…a little Neil I think. Both babies look perfect.
Seeing these little ones today, and hearing and talking to Margo and Neil, I am reassured.
Love to you all for supporting my family,
Pam
We have you all in our thoughts and prayers. If we can help out in any way please do not hesitate to call.
Much Love,
Jake and Mackenzie Sullivan
We've been amazed at how the little ones continue to develop. We and our Spokane friends are following the web site closely and we wish we could be there to see the twins progress. Take care of yourselves and know we love you and the babies very much. Mom & Dad(Grandma & Grandpa)

Thank you for all of the updates on Sawyer and Zoe. We have been thinking of the four of you constantly. Maclaren keeps asking about the "tiny babies". We can't wait to get over these colds so we can meet them in person! Love, Uncle Jim, Aunt Carol, Maclaren and Mason
Go go Sawyer and Zoe! Such determined babies - it's really inspiring. Lots of love to the four of you - and the family and friends who surround you, too.
Hi Margo and Neil,
I check this site regularly. thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to keep us updated online. We think of you often, so getting news is so wonderful and exciting. I can't wait to meet Zoe and Sawyer.
love,
tracy and tyler
