Abbie is on the mend!

Here are some pictures from the past two days. I caught a smile on her face!! How photogenic is she?!
Sound asleep.....
Yeah! She opened her eyes just a bit! She has dark blue eyes. At first we thought they were brown, but she had them open more today and they are definitely dark blue!
Look at all that hair! Daddy and Mama got to brush it for awhile the other night. I think she liked that.
Precious tiny feet....

Abbie had her surgery and is doing great!
Monday, February 11, 2008


She is on a ventilator for now until her system can handle breathing on her own again. The doctors say 24-48 hours until she comes off.
Here's our baby sound asleep.
This picture is from Saturday night when we went to visit. You can see the bowels are almost all the way back inside!
Abbie is doing great and her operation this morning went amazingly well! The Lord was so good! Our Pastor was able to come and pray with Mike and I and all the surgeons before Abbie went into surgery, and I know that had alot to do with her successful operation. She will be on the ventilator for awhile, but once she is breathing on her own, it looks like a clear road of recovery ahead! All she has to do is heal now. Please continue to pray for her little body as she recovers.
Please also pray for Caleb. Poor little guy has been a real trooper through all of this. He's got a fever today and I'm hoping he hasnt caught anything! Please just remember him in your prayers too.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! I'll try to keep this blog updated!

Oh Autumn, she is SO PRECIOUS!! I am glad that Abbie is on the mend and doing well.
Kyrah was so excited to hear the news and even more excited when I showed her the pictures. She has been talking about you, Abbie and Caleb ALL evening! She has told everyone she's talked to about Abbie.
I enjoyed reading your blog; thanks for telling me about it!
GOD is so good and your family has been very blessed!!
Please let me know if you need anything.

Autumn,
Kyrah said to remember that God is in her/your will... She said this would keep you from crying. :) Thought that was too sweet not to share with you!
