Thank You

We just want to thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. We surely have felt their influence. This week has been pretty scary and emotional but we know that the Lord has helped us through it and has allowed us to keep our sweet baby. All day on Monday the baby was so tired and lethargic and it was so hard to see her that way. On Tuesday she was more awake and looked a lot better and by Wednesday, I remember looking in her eyes and feeling like she was really back. I love those big eyes and how you look in them and can see so much.

Here she is in Primary Children's hospital with a cute little blanket they gave her. The next one was taken on Tuesday and the top one was taken on Wednesday. You can kind of see how she has better color.
And, of course, we couldn't have made it through all of this without Aunt LeAnne. She was here when the event happened and she called 911 and kept her cool while I was freaking out. Then she was able to stay with our kids all week and did tons of fun things with them like go to the museum and the park. She is our lifesaver and we don't think we can ever thank her enough!

The baby is doing really well now. Our doctor has her on a sleep apnea monitor but we only have to have it on her at night and when she is napping. Thanks again!

Great news about Clarissa; I'm so glad things are getting better. It's so hard to see pictures of precious babies at Primary Children's - it's so sad!
