Look Around

Here at the hospital, you never have to look far to see someone who is struggling. It really makes you appreciate all that you have.

On Monday, while waiting for updates on Audra's surgery in the waiting room we saw a team on doctors take a family off into the private consultation room. Some of the family members came out in tears and the doctors were there with the parents for a long time. We can only imagine what bad news they received and say some prayers for them and their little one.

In the area next door a newborn who was born at 3:30 am just arrived via ambulance. His mother is still in the hospital that she delivered him at via c-section and he is having a difficult time. They are trying to stabilize him and talk with the dad to explain to him all that is going. Prayers for them as well.

Despite our ups and downs, we are thankful that we have been blessed with all that we have and pray that Audra has a smooth and uneventful road ahead of her.

It looks like Audra may get off the ventilator today. She has done well on the first sprint and is currently in her second sprint. She is getting hungry since she cannot eat in preparation for getting the ventilator out. She is also having some awake time, her leg is looking better and her headache appears to be going away. So things are moving along :)

  1. Sounds like a great day for Audra! Sprint baby girl sprint! :)
    It is so hard looking around in the hospital sometimes and you're heart can just break watching others suffer. I know exactly what you're talking about.
    Keeping you guys in our thoughts and prayers always!
