Day 4 Recovery

Everett continues to improve every day. We are witnessing God's healing in our little boy and it is amazing. The doctors are not sure yet when we will be able to leave the hospital. We could be discharged as early as Sunday, or it may not be until Tuesday. Everett's chest X-Ray still shows fluid around the lungs that is from surgical trauma. He is getting Lasix to help get rid of all the extra fluid. Please pray for complete healing and for a good report on his X-Ray tomorrow.

Since Everett is doing such a great job taking his bottle, his cardiologist allowed us to remove the NG tube today! Our little handsome man no longer has any tubes or lines connected to his tiny body. Praise the Lord!

Everett still needs to eat well for the next few days and get over the excess fluid before we can head home. It has been very difficult for us to balance our time with both boys. We miss Elijah so much when we can't be with him. Please pray for us. We want to make sure Everett is ready before we head home, but we are very anxious to be all together again. Please pray for that time to be sooner than later.

Today I am reminded of all that our Savior has done for us. This week especially we can see how blessed we are. My heart is overwhelmed by the gifts he has given to Blake and me in our children. We appreciate your continued prayers. They mean so much to us.
