I just spoke to Francie. No huge updates but she knows that many are waiting for any news. She got to spend quite a bit of time with the boys today. She sang the Our Father, Hail Mary and Jesus Loves Me to Carson and Kellen. Apparently Jesus Loves Me is the song Elizabeth sang each night to them while they were in utero... :) She also prayed/sang the chaplet to them. She has gotten to place her finger near them and they will grab her finger. :) She said Carson grabbed her pinky and it just warmed her heart so. Carson has tolerated the ECMO being decreased by 'baby steps' twice already so that is very good. The latest on the clotting issue is that they have decided not to change the tubing because there are risks with doing that also... Kellen is still doing very well. Specific prayer requests - so there is no bleeding in his brain and so no clots cause problems for Carson. Also for respite for Preston and Elizabeth so they can stay strong.
Tomorrow is Dave (Preston's Dad's) birthday so we hope for a good day for all tomorrow for a wonderful birthday present. Doug is spending tonight with Carson and Kellen. My family is going up to St. Louis tomorrow for a very brief visit so Doug will ride back with us.
I can't tell you all how much it means to Francie and the entire family to know how many are lifting little Carson and Kellen and all of them up in prayer. Thank you!!
