Two Weeks Old

Tuesday evening marks the two week birthday of Ansel. We are passed the critical period marked by the Doctors. Now the numbers are on Ansel's side.

Each day Kerri shows improvement. The rash is fading, the kidneys are putting out more. Dialysis was performed Monday and is scheduled Wednesday. The need for dialysis will be evualuated before each session. Wednesday doctors will again examine her tummy and perhaps remove some staples if the wound is oozing less.

Kerri is now strong enough to perform some of Ansel's care. Last night she bathed, diapered, & weighed him in the isolet - and discovered another milestone - Ansel is now 2lbs 4.9 ozs, officially passing his birth weight. Kerri's loving, gentle caresses and soothing hums while peering in the isolet are quite special.

Thanks again for all the cards, well wishes, and visits. Your love and concern are much appreciated.

Hey Meg, This is Kerri's mom. Remember me? Kerri is in Freeman Hospital in Joplin. She would love a visit from you. If you need directions I'm in the phone book. (Springfield) How are you doing?
Hi Kerri, I love you. I've been thinking about you all day; I hope your procedure today wasn't too much of an ordeal. I wish I could have been there for you.
Love to all of you, Cody, Kerri and Ansel.

Dear Kerri;

Tell Ansel that I drank a Dr Pepper to his health on his birthday.

Love;
