The miracles continue

Isabella continues to do well since her surgery on Tuesday. The doctors are pleased with her progress. The PA bands and stent both seem to be doing what they are supposed to be doing.

She will hopefully get the chest tube taken out tomorrow (Saturday) and possibly be taken off the ventilator a few days after that.

We're proud of our baby girl for being the first baby under 1 kg to have this hybrid procedure done in Pittsburgh! It's an amazing thing when you think about how small her blood vessels are.

After getting off the ventilator, her next big challenge will be to start eating real "food" so she can gain weight and grow.

We continue to be blessed by God's provision for us. We have a room at the Ronald McDonald House and it is truly a gift from God for our long stay here.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. God is using you to bless us and we are grateful.

Gwen is doing well and recovering from giving birth.

Enough words ... we know everyone wants to see more pictures!




Here Isabella is opening her eyes - she is so beautiful!








Our family picture - Nathan would not smile for this.



This one with just Isaac turned out a little better.



This is Isabella's beautiful hand on Joe's finger. Tiny little fingers, but so perfect!







And on Gwen's finger












This one shows how small she really is.
