Today was bittersweet as usual.

Audriara continues to grow stronger each day. She got off the oxygen and her IV today. She's up to receiving 32 ccs (1 oz) of milk at each feeding every 3 hours. That will continue to increase as she fattens up. She's totally amazing as you all can imagine. What a great blessing!

Crystal was having a not so good day today. She couldn't tolerate being on her back in the bed so as you can imagine her face was really swollen. She's still responding some under the heavy sedation which she is not suppose to be able to do. It personally gives me hope that she is still in there and understands what is happening around her. As much as one could under the circumstances. Things change with her each day with regard to her treatment for the pneumonia and pulmonary embolism. Some are good, some are not so much. Trying to focus on the positive here. She has a long road ahead of her to recovery from this most serious life threatening illness. Keep praying for her expedient healing.

A special thank you to the nurses and medical staff who are caring for our dear girls. They are so great and take the time to explain things and even look in on both when they are off duty. You can't imagine how that helps us to know they are not just patients but people they have come to care for too.

Thank you and God Bless!
