January 4th, 2006

A quick note tonight on progress for Kerri and Ansel. Ansel is doing great! He weighs in at 2 lbs. 12 ozs! We are very excited about his progress. Kerri and Cody change his diapers, take his temperature, and are learning all about Ansel's attached monitors. The little family is adapting well to life in the NICU. As always, the nurses are very helpful and kind.

Kerri has been able to keep some food down. Hungry, and wishing she could eat, some foods are finally starting to sound good to her. Mostly relying on small snacks to sustain her, we are hoping she can regain her strength as her stomach settles back down.

A vacuum machine to promote healing by cleaning tissue and stretching cells is attached to Kerri's abdomen. Visiting medical students come in and are fascinated by the new machine. We wonder if they know of her miraculous history. Dialysis was given again today. Kerri says she can sleep through the process for a few hours and get some much needed rest.

Kerri and Cody are hopeful that Kerri will be able to come home soon. We will be looking forward to that day!

We just recieved a nice card and some cheese from the Sneddon family for making them dinner one night. We cannot believe thier kindness to thank us for helping them out in a time of need. We feel like we should be giving to them and they give to us. That just shows what a great family the Sneddon's are. Thanks again and we wish you continued improvement and hope that you can go home very soon.

Hi Kerri, Cody and baby,
We continue to pray for your health and the baby's also. How thankful we are for modern medicine and the blessing it is in times such as this. We are so impressed with how you are handling things, however, we're not surprised. We have always known you could and would do whatever the Lord ask of you. We love you! Paul and Tina Jarvis
