Almost A Week!!
As Mallory is almost a week old she has gone through more than most other people do in a lifetime and has been so strong through all of it. Today she is still recovering great with her swelling greatly reduced and is expected to have her chest closed tomorrow morning or afternoon. This is a big step as it means that they will start getting her off of her machines and medicine and closer to coming home. We have been so blessed to have such great nurses and doctors that are constantly looking after her and keeping us informed as to what they are doing, which is a great thing as they have to continually adjust things to find the right settings to keep her vitals at the right spots. We have also learned so much about so many different people and how people have all kinds of struggles in their lives and as friends and family pray for us, please keep al those other families that are here and all over the world in your prayers also.

So so so glad to hear she is doing so well. You all have been so strong through all of this. I'm glad you were able to hold her yesterday morning longer before her surgery. I'm sure she could feel your love and that helped calm her. I can't wait to get to meet her when she is stronger:)
