Jeepers Creepers…
…where’d you get those peepers? We were so happy to walk into Haven’s room this morning and see both of her big eyes looking back up at us. They’ve been swollen shut for several days. Yesterday, she was able to crack open one eye just barely depending on which side she was laying on, but today she was able to open them both up a little bit for us. She doesn’t like to miss a thing so she worked real hard to catch a glimpse.
We were also pleased to find out that she had 269 mililiters more out than in yesterday! (Please see yesterday’s post for an explanation of that number.) So she’s doing a fine job moving that fluid out.  Extra red blood cells seem to really help her mobilize that fluid out of her tissues, so she got extra blood yesterday and will get more today. And because she has been able to move so much fluid, they have been able to come down on her ventilator settings some. Still a long way to go on the ventilator and the fluid, but we’ve got a good jump on it!  Â

That’s wonderful news. I’m sure Haven’s happy to be able to see Mom & Dad! Have a nice afternoon.
Love & Prayers, Laurie

I was the hour coordinator in Discovery World when you volunteered in High School. Be encouraged in the Lord and I will continue to pray for Haven and your family.

Sorry that I haven’t sent some-thing back sooner, I’m trying to get caught up on things since I was in the hospital. So glad that Haven is doing a little better. I don’t think you realize how many of the guys are praying for you. They all want to know how Haven is doing. Would it be possible for the both of you to come to our show on May 5? I would have free tickets for you and also at the afterglow. You could stay at our house for the night, and then go back to Indy Sunday morning. Sound like a plan? Advise. Love, Ken
