Thank you for your prayers! Gigi is improving steadily.... she came off the ventilator very quickly after her Monday's procedure. Her labs show no sign of infection...praise God!! By Thursday she was back to her sweet self.... alert and hungry! I was able to hold her and begin bottle feeding again, and was just overwhelmed at the joy I received in such a simple act! She is very responsive when she's awake, and sleeps very peacefully. I am so thankful for the loving staff at Fairfax Hospital. The NICU nurses, neonatoligists, and neurosurgery team have been a huge blessing to us - thank you God! Our family and our friends have supported us with such love... we don't know how we could have managed without them! We still have a long road head.... antibiotics for a few weeks and surgical replacement of her shunt sometime near Thanksgiving. Please continue to lift Gigi in prayer... for protection for infection and drain blockage, for strengthening and healing. She is such a strong little girl! Please pray for Drew and I to keep our eyes fixed on God. He has shown us the way and carried us faithfully with each trial. Please also pray for Kelly and Conor... they have handled all of this so well... but it is getting harder for them. It's hard to believe it's been 11 weeks... I am so proud of Kelly and Conor!
Blessings!
