Yesterday was a slow day around here. Not too much excitement. Grady is now off of the O2 and Ella has moved to 45 ml of milk (still alternating bottle and feeding tube). They are sleeping good right now. The Doc came in this morning to review Ella's x-ray. He said that the pneumo has decreased to about the size of a quarter. Good news from yesterday.
Mommy is tired. She is sleeping as well. There wasn't much sleep on Wednesday night so our nurse took extra care last night to make sure that Carrie napped between feedings. She slept for an hour this morning too.
Please pray for our nurse last night. She was such a sweetheart but has a heavy heart. Her husband died 4 years ago shortly after a miscarriage. They had only been married for 11 months. She shared her testimony with us and had a great conversation.
We are just taking this one day at a time. I told the nurse they should have a sign that says 'we'll know more tomorrow'. We are taking an infant CPR class tomorrow. In light of Grady's chameleon trick, we thought it would be a good idea.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers. We can feel the blanket love of Christ surrounding us during this time.
I'll try and write more this afternoon.

I am so happy to hear the positive updates on the babies! They are so beautiful, even with all of the wires! You are all in my prayers.

Stephen and Carrie, thanks for keeping us updated. That is such great news that Grady no longer is on the iv and that Ella continues to improve. Praise God!! What precious children. The pictures are so priceless and I'm so glad you have taken the time to post them. I know that the two of you have been stretched and stressed and are very tired at times, but I pray that God will give you the strength and support to take care of everything with the babies and also Stephen with your work. We will continue to pray for all of you.
Love,
Aunt Denise

Love, Dennis and Melanie
Happy 1 week birthday, Ella and Grady! You are precious babies and we are so happy you have such a loving and devoted Mom and Dad to take care of you!
Stephen and Carrie, thank you for the update on our little niece and nephew's progress. I am so thankful that we are hearing good news each time! Thank God for His goodness and his blanket of love over all of you.
We pray that you will all be able to go home soon (In God's time). We would love to see them but will wait until you give us the okay.
We love all 4 of you and we continue to pray and thank God for you. Keep us posted.
Love, Aunt Deb
