The best surprise today has been how well Eydie has nursed. I was not expecting her to get the hang of it for quite some time, but she has done so well, especially considering we have to keep her hooked to an IV and several monitors so we're balancing wires and different machines are beeping when something falls off. They had to redo her IV again so she's been thoroughly poked and prodded and has little bruises, but she's been a champ through it all.

We're staying through her last feeding tonight and then tomorrow I'm going to try to come up and nurse during the day as much as I can. I'm not sure how all that will work, but we'll figure something out and we're thankful it'll just be for 4 or 5 days. We give God all the glory and credit for Eydie's improvement. The doctors and nurses haven't stopped commenting on how amazed they are that she is doing so well. We feel that is a direct answer to all your prayers. Praise God!

Brandon has been so great about taking care of both of his girls. He's given me strength and support and showered Eydie with lots of love. He makes sure I get plenty of rest and reminds me that Eydie's in good hands...those of the doctors and nurses in the hospital here, but most importantly her heavenly Father's.
