Great news to share with you all today.

Crystal was on her back for most of the day since 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. this evening. She is still on the Roto-Prone bed for at least one more night. If she continues to do well they are planning to move her to a regular bed tomorrow. They were able to turn her oxygen level down to 40% and her sat levels maintained in the 90s most of the day.

Now are you ready for the best part, she opened her eyes and was able to communicate some with her visitors. She can't talk with the respirator in but she certainly tried mouthing things to us all. I love you too mouthed back was the best thing. I showed her pictures of Audriara and she wanted to hear about her. I told her she was tiny and perfect and breathing on her own since the day she was born. I saw the relief in her eyes as she closed them. She is definitely weak and tires fairly easily as you would expect. She wanted to assure us and mouthed that she was better and shook her head yes when we confirmed that to her. We asked her to stay relaxed and let the machine do the breathing and she nodded yes again.

Audriara is still holding her own and doing well. She is not fattening up quite fast enough for them but she is a strong little girl and moves around alot. I told her that her mommy woke up and that she was going to get to see her soon....Audi smiled....what a great coincidence....or was it?

Crystal and Audriara still have a ways to go so please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming. Don't forget to thank our GOD for this GREAT BLESSING TODAY.

Thanks and God Bless each of you.
