Our roller coaster ride descended downhill on Sunday morning when Ford had to be transported to Cooks Children's Hospital in Fort Worth by the Teddy Bear Transport Team...which I must add were extremely wonderful and professional. The thought of one of our sons being transported was alarming enough, but seeing Ford go from his incubator to a gurney was very emotional for mom and dad. Our Neonatologist determined that cyst called PIE where forming around Fords left lung. Being proactive, our Doctor decided that Ford needed to be put on an air JET ventilator, which could potentially help clear up the cyst. As mentioned above, the move was very emotional, but we were comforted by the Transport Team along with all of the staff at MCA hospital. Once Ford got situated Sunday afternoon at Cooks, many examines were run...and it was concluded that his PDA passageway b/w his heart and lungs had not closed.
Ford will undergo Heart Surgery in the morning (Wednesday 1/16) at 9:00 am at Cooks which will surgically close the passageway. This is about a 45 minute procedure done right in his cubicle. Ford will be under anesthesia which will be a major concern for an 8 day old baby. We pray that this procedure goes off without any complications, and he will make a speedy recovery. As is stands now, Ford will remain at Cooks and his brother Hayden will be at MCA in Arlington where he remains stable. We ask that you continue to keep our precious little boys on your prayer list...and you don't know how much it means to Dana and me to read all of your messages and know that many friends and total strangers are lifting all 4 of us up through your prayers and well wishes. We know that we have gained an enormous extended family.
Thank you again,
The Hugheys

Hughey Family,
I will be thinking about you and saying a special prayer at 9 in the morning. You and the boys are always in my thoughts. Please know how many people out there love you and are pulling for you!
Love, Melissa Mobley
Hello again...We continue to think about you often and prayers continue to flow from all of us here at KLTV. Be strong. We can't wait to have you all home. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. We love you.
I promise these are the most popular children in Tyler! Everyone is praying for these little guys to grow strong and healthy. We love you, hang in there. Jean and Ronnie
Trey,
I heard about your boys from a friend in Tyler and have been keeping up with your blog ever since. I cannot imagine the emotions and feelings that you and your wife are experiencing right now. But I know that God is a Healer and Protector and he can bring Ford through his surgery. I will pray for your sweet little boy tomorrow during his surgery and afterwards as I think of him and Hayden.

I just want you to know that you are in mine and my families prayers. Look forward to having you all back home. If there is anything you need just let us know. We all love you…
Hello Dana % Trey,
I heard the news of the birth of your twin boys this morning and the first thing I want to say is Congratulations!
I am also writing you because I am the grandmother of twin boys born 9/15/03 weighing in at 1 lb 4 oz and 1 lb 14 oz.
I contacted my daughter Stephanie who lives in California and asked her if she would be willing to be willing to lend her ear to you if you ever wanted to talk to another mother who might be in a similar situation. She agreed and asked me to provide you with her phone number if you want to talk. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who understands your situation.
As I am sure you are aware, early birth of twins can bring a multitude of challenges. My daughter has been through more than I ever imagined. The twins medical challenges have placed her with a responsibility beyond comprehension. She has been the primary care giver for the twins and four other children. She has managed to learn about medical terminology, therapies and medications that most people don't ever encounter. Most of all, she has an enormous amount of patience. She now works with Children's Therapy Network and is a Certified Infant Massage Therapist.
My daughter's name is Stephanie Lopez. You can contact me via e-mail at JoyceStutzman@msn.com and I will be happy to provide you with her contact information.
God bless you and your family,
Joyce Stutzman

Hughey family,
I recently found out that Dana had given birth early. I know that God is watching over them and will take care of them. My great niece was born early in July and she is perfectly healthy now. I know the fear and worry you are going through. I sent a special prayer up this morning and I know God is listening. Remember, with God All Things Are Possible. God Bless.
A faithful early morning viewer.
Dear Hughey Family,
I cannot imagine what you all are going through but please know that all of my family - work and personal - have you all in our prayers.
I know God works miracles and science does wonders so your precious son is in good hands.
May God bless you with strength - he has already blessed you with the love you all have for these babies.
With prayers and hugs,
Pam J.
Dana & Trey,
First,we would like to congratulate you both on the birth of your precious little boys! We will be praying for Ford, you both,your family and doctors Wednesday morning. And will continue to keep you all in our prayers as we have since we heard about your little guys being born.
We are viewers of KLTV and had been missing and wondering where Dana was...by chance, last week, I found I work with one of your relatives. I had asked about a relative he mentioned (no name) had preemie baby boys, to let him know I'd be praying for them. It was much later in the conversation that I found it was Dana. I came home and shared with my spouse...glad to know where 'Dana from KLTV' was, but more, that we could pray for you all.
God bless you all.

Dana and Trey,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May God keep you strong and may him give Ford the strength for a quick recovery. I will keep Hayden and Ford in my prayers!

We are earnestly praying for all 4 of you, and especially Ford today. Your analogy of the roller coaster ride is right on, but the anxiety and fear are tolerable with the hope of a joyful end to the ride. My grandson was also born at 23.5 weeks gestation- 1 lb 6 oz, 12 inches- and also had respiratory complications necessitating high speed ventilation and a PDA that had to be closed via surgery in the NICU. As for you and your family, there were unending prayers and support from family and friend, and my grandson is now a bright, happy, healthy 11 year old who has never met a stranger, is a good student, and has a black belt in tae kwan do. We will keep you in our prayers.
Dana, Trey and Boys,
I have been praying for you guys since I got the message of the surgery last night. I shared the request with the friends I was with, who immediately stopped and said a prayer. We're all supporting you!
Love you,
Emily York
I am keeping your two boys and the both of you in my prayers. I am really pulling for them.
Love, Joann Ellis

Trey, Dana, Ford and Hayden,
I work with and am a good friend of Dana's mother, Jacque. I feel like I know all of you as I have followed your pregnancy and delivery. I am the mother of identical twin boys, they are in their 20s. I wanted to pass along to you that I believe in the power of prayer by people that believe in the power of prayer. I am one of those people that believe. And I am praying for your family. God Bless you and keep you all.
Love, Tammy

Hughey family,
I was praying so hard at 9 this morning for Ford, and wondering what you must be going through when Katie called to tell me the surgery was postponed. I will continue to pray for your precious boys. We are firm belivers in the power of prayer and you certainly are having the prayers sent your way. Bill and Janet, we cannot imagine what you, as grandparents, are also going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Hugheys and the Dixons. God will see you through this and may he bless all of you.
Trudy & Mark Shuttlesworth
You don't know me but I watched Dana do the news on KLTV.My prayers are with you and your family.God Bless! Loleta H
