I have been following this and just had to say I was sorry to see this...thank you for sharing, as one never knows when this kind of info may help down the road and good luck with the babies! I hope things turn better and brighter for you soon.

It is hard for me to type with the tears.. may Hannah be at peace and her willing spirit live on through those kids.. if it is any testament to her.. they should be fighters with what they have been through.. and if it were me I know I would never be able to give them up! Heck they might have got moved in my bedroom!

I also am teary eyed and that just doesn't happen with me often. You are a wonderful person to work that hard with that beautiful doe. I wouldn't have had a clue as to what to do in a situation like that. I can only imagine how hard that delivery must have been knowing what was going to end up happening to your dear Hannah. I know those two babies are going to be spoiled rotten with a Momma like you. I am praying they do well despite being premature. My daughter was 16 weeks premature and was given a 10% chance of living. She is doing awesome now at almost 10. Preemies are fighters just like Hannah was. Go Babies, you can do it!

Thank you everyone.

The babies are touch and go. Doeling started off well, then became weak, buckling started off weak and was doing better than the doe. Tonight though, they've both lost the suckle reflex :/ I've gotten about 5 oz of colostrum in each of them since noon.

Fingers crossed they pull through. I'm so sorry for the loss of Hannah. I've been lurking and your situation has been on my mind a lot lately. It must have been so hard to post about, but I'm grateful that you could.
