Quick Update on Mikey & Ikey

WOW - I knew Mikey & Ikey were hard on the propane bill, but just found out exactly how hard. My last fill up lasted 6 months, as we only use it for hot water and cooking. I was filled up SEPTEMBER 12, about 7 days before we picked up the boys and needed to REFILL AGAIN NOVEMBER 7TH to the tune of $467.26 and the ONLY difference is that the nursery needed to be heated. Please say your prayers for warmer nights and healthier babies..... There are so many hidden costs for these little ones. Luckily we are using a little less each night now, but it will depend on the weather. Hopefully I can get the Monitor heaters hooked up soon and get some kerosene going as they are supposed to be more efficient. But we do what we need to for these babies. They are growing so much and feeling better overall but we are still fighting their lung issues. Thank you for all your support and prayers. Was in sticker shock this a.m.

The boys are growing like crazy and even have enough energy to play for a few minutes most days.  However, as much as the Vibra VM machine is helping, they still have a cough.  We are talking to the vet about which antibiotics to try now.  We didn't want to just flood them with antibiotics as that is so damaging for them.


Please keep us all in your prayers and thank you for continuing to support these little guys.  They have been through so much and are such fighters.  They will be up for adoption at a later date, but ONLY TOGETHER, AND ONLY WITH A GUARANTEE THAT THEY REMAIN TOGETHER THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.  I have never seen two babies more closely connected.  It is like they are biological twins - (even though they are not even related).  But they have pulled each other through it all, and are so protective of each other.  The machine is loud at this point and the baby that is not being treated is always at my elbow to make sure the other one is ok.


God Bless y'all and make someone smile today!
