Abigail seems much more like Abigail today. Although she still spends a lot of time sleeping, she also spends more time awake, looking around (one of her eyes never swelled shut), and trying to stuff hospital equipment into her mouth. The big milestone today was the removal of three of her lines (a line being an IV, tube, monitor, etc. that is attached to her body). She still has five more lines to be removed but she is much easier to handle with five lines then eight.
Tomorrow morning the head wrap will come off; I'm thinking that it is going to be scary to see her forehead and the incision but at least that is another step in the right direction.
God continues to be good to us.
Update on Jaron: Jaron's burned fingers have since blistered and then gone down again. They don't seem to bother him when his hand is wrapped but doesn't even use that hand when his hand is unwrapped. We feel terrible that his medical concerns aren't as prevelent in our minds but we also know he is being well cared for. At some point, and somehow, we need to set up a visit this week for the Pediatrician to have a look at him. We're still trying to figure out how to schedule that one...
Otherwise, Jaron is having a blast playing with his grandparents!

Grandparents are great, aren't they? Great news indeed and hope you guys are able to catch a little sleep here and there!
Glad to hear an update on both. I really am checking in lots, and Kathryn is excited whenever we go to your page to hear how "baby Abigail" is doing!
hey...what if you explained your situation with you little man to them at chop. surely the place is crawling with a capable doc. just a thot. i'm the queen of manipulate and breaking the rules er uh...perhaps just tweaking them a bit per say. then the g's could bring him in for a visit/appt. no?
We're praising God for all the good news. Thanks for these great updates! We're continuing to pray daily.
Our God is powerful & mighty,
Mary
Continuing to pray for you both as each child is going through such trials! So glad to hear that Abigail's surgery went well and will continue to pray for her speedy recovery. My heart goes out to poor Jaran - I just got over a 1st degree burn and it was awful - sounds like he's handling it very well:)
