Here's a new photo of Audriara for your viewing pleasure. Please keep in mind that Crystal has not even seen her beautiful daughter yet, so relish your priviledge in seeing these first. A picture of Audriara has been taken each day to be placed in a special book for Crystal so that she can see how she changed each day and hopefully make her feel better about missing out on seeing it for herself.

Crystal is holding her own and is a true champion in her own right. Vince Lombardi once said "Inches make Champions" and I think that applies in our situation here as she is fighting so hard. Crystal overall remains the same but there continues to be slight improvements each day. Her chest xrays are improving and show that the pneumonia is clearing out little by little. Her left lung was improved this evening as more air could be heard getting in. The past few days it has been her right lung that was clearer. It seems to be going back and forth. The goal is to get both of them working together. She is still comatose and on the respirator. Her O2 levels are set between 70-100% as needed. She's still on the Roto-Prone bed at least for a few more days. It rotates her back and forth very slowly every few minutes. The settings on the bed are changed as needed. All is all more of the same and its really testing our patience.

Also, please feel free to leave comments on the blogs. Someday Crystal will see this and know how much we love her.

Keep your faith and keep on praying for Crystal's healing and Audriara's growth.

Thank you and God Bless!
