Avery Up-Date...

Thank you to everyone who sent loving thoughts and prayers to Avery... She has turned the corner... and is on the mend.

Sophie went to visit her yesterday, and was shocked and thrilled to see a HUGE change in Avery since our visit the previous day.

Avery's eyes were bright and open, and she smiled when she saw "Soph" appear from behind the hospital curtain, wearing a mask and globs of Anti-Bacterial goo on her hands...

Sophie was allowed to snuggle up to Avery in the hospital bed and spend some lovely healing time together...

As you can see, Avery is still hooked up to lots of medical instruments, and she's not out of the woods yet, but she is on the mend... please, please continue to put her in your prayers...  

After the initial post about Avery and Sophie there was a huge outpouring from so many of you... from the bottom of my heart Dear Friends and Loved ones... Thank you, Thank you....

Below is an up-date from Avery's parents...

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Avary.  Today her breathing has improved and she's continued to get some strength back.  They've been able to cut back on  her oxygen and she's responding very well to that.  She is more alert and so is also more aware of her aches & pains, and they are treating her with meds for that.  The other good news is her fever is just low grade now, no spikes (fingers crossed). 

The staff here thinks we are on a good path.  We're still in ICU, and can't leave until her oxygen support is further reduced, but we're hoping that can happen in the next 24 hours.  That said, the staff is so great in ICU we are in no hurry to leave given we're a ways from leaving the hospital--to get released Avary has to return to eating and drinking herself and regain her strength (she can't sit up by herself right now).

Thanks again to everyone for your love and support!

Eric & Jenn

With Love,
