Night night...







Good night, little fella! Today was a big day for Eli. His ventilator tube was removed so that he can breathe on his own. He has a little air flowing into his nose but it's on a very low setting. We can hear his little wimpers now that he can vocalize (which is good, but sure tough to hear- he sounds like a little kitten!). Momma T spent the night last night and it went well, though she only got 2 hours of sleep! What a blessing our parents have been to us. We feel like we have so much support and encouragement. We are so grateful to all of you who offer continual prayers and support to all of us. We can certainly feel them- and need them! All of the doctors and nurses have said he is doing VERY well. The lead surgeon, an extremely blunt individual, even said Eli is exceeding his expectations. Tonight the mother of another premature infant who has been there for 4 months gave Jenny a bag full of little clothes for preemies. They are so cute!

Good Morning, Little Eli, Mommy and Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa T are so proud to be a part of your lives and see how wonderful parents you are and listening to God's direction and resting in His grace. We treasure every prayer, thought and expression lifted up by others. God has your backs and is going before with every circumstance clearing the way. Tell Eli we'll see him again soon.

Jenny and Will,
Pics are great......Just know that Regina and I are keeping up and keeping your names up around the throne. I think he looks like Walt!?!?!?!? Regina is gaining every day. We are very encouraged with her progress. She may have 6 more chemo treatments soon............Let us know if we can help in any way.
Love to you,
