Avery remains on her upward path and continues to become seemingly more alert. Shannon got to hold her for the second time today. The nurses did, however, discover that she had some bacteria growing from a sample from her breathing tube. They're not sure if she's ending up with an infection like Wren did, but as a precaution they're starting her on antibiotics ahead of it.
Wren is still trying to beat off some of the adverse symptoms of her infection. Unfortunately, there was some time yesterday when one of her IV tubes was disconnected, and she wasn't receiving the fluid and medicine she was supposed to get. That's been corrected.
As soon as both girls are up for it, the doctors are likely going to choose to operate on their heart murmurs. Meanwhile, two of our kids at home started with runny noses today and were making us really nervous. If Shannon or I get sick, we may not get to see the girls for several days, which would be really hard. We've already gotten used to seeing and talking to those two little beauties every day.

Avery, Wren, Kevin, Shannon, and all your kids have the frequent prayers of a huge number of people, including many who watch from heaven. That is not simply a good thing, it makes ALL the difference. God is helping, and knows what the outcome must be. Our love is with you every second. Dad
