Some good news!

Thanks to all of you who have given us encouraging words over the past days; it is through your prayers that we can see our Heavenly Father pulling Abigail through the sickness and back into strength and life.

We have some good news today! The doctors agree that Abigail is gaining more strength each day; she can hold her head up better, she is trying to grab things when you put them in front of her, etc. Additionally, Mary can now nurse her consistently instead of being fed through a tube (the tube remains, however, to supplement as necessary). That is good news for both Abigail and Mary!

The best news of all is that Abigail may be able to come home within a few days; the doctors are going to continue to monitor her but if she continues to make progress then we hope to be home before the weekend. We are so longing to be home together, like a family again.

Thanks for continuing to check the blog - it means a lot to us to know you all care.
