Prayerful Progress

Kara is getting better, still in the hospital, but feeling more like herself. Yesterday, Kara felt more like Nina, as she had straws thrown in her face when it was time to eat, napped a lot, and occasionally went to the bathroom. Today she had more color, lower blood pressure, and less swelling! Hooray! Nina went to cheer her mom up and it was a beautiful reunion.

Nina's numbers were better and she is off her treatment for jaundice, only one more blood-draw to go. We've felt blessed to have such an agreeable baby, supportive family, and caring friends through these early trials. Kara's mom has been taking care of everyone and everything while the Nakagaki grandparents have made more meals in 2 days than most families do in a month. Thank you, friends, for all the prayers and well-wishes, we feel so lucky to know each and every one of you!
