The past two days have been rather normal. Abigail is making more progress in her healing. Her stitches are starting to look better, although we have some time to go before they dissolve completely. Then we just need to wait for her hair to grow to cover the scar! Abigail's face, we think, is still a little bit swollen. It is hard to tell because we are not entirely sure what she is supposed to look like! We are concerned about her right eye; it is still half swollen shut. It looks better then it does in the below pictures taken on Sunday, but it hasn't improved since Monday morning. It kind of looks like a lazy eye at the moment, which is making us scared that it may in fact be a lazy eye. It's probably not, but we'll call the doctor tomorrow to see what he says.
Jaron has come to accept Abigail as Abigail today. For the last week he has always said it was Abigail but we weren't sure he was convinced since she looks so different. But today we found him sitting on the floor next to Abbie, inspecting her stitches, saying "Hi Abbie", patting her and giving her kisses on the head. We now know that Jaron knows it is really Abigail, although she may not look the same. It was very sweet to watch.
Mary's mom left yesterday - a big thanks to her for her help. And also a big thanks to Jeremy's parents for their help in watching Jaron last week as well. We are blessed to have family who are willing to sacrifice their time and schedules to help us in our need. Our church has also been a huge blessing, providing meals yet again (for the third time in 7 months)!
Jaron's fingers continue to heal well. They don't seem to bother him anymore, but we keep it wrapped so they don't get dirty since several layers of skin are missing.
Here is a few videos you may enjoy from our latest bedtime routine:

What sweet videos! Caleb and Alisia was so concerned for Jaron's fingers and have been remembering to pray for him and Abbie. Glad to hear the updates!
I am utterly astonished.... He knows the words and the tunes and he just loves to sing! Eli, as you well know, has very little singing capabilities - although he loves to sing very VERY loudly. We're waiting to see about Gabe. He has started singing "Jesus Loves Me" and loves to sing it.
that's awesome! :)
Wow! Livin' up to his first name! And, he has some very talented parents... :-)
WOW!!!! He has an incredible ear for such a little kid! That is not typical, and you know he inherited that ability! Keep that kid singing!
I was thoroughly impressed!!!!
He'll be holding the microphone on his own, and touching hearts in another year at the church Christmas pageant. I am so glad you posted those videos, they were just precious.
