Saturday afternoon

Another "boring" day so far today; let's hope it stays that way.  No fever, no infections, and chest x-ray looks good.  The doctors did tell us that chances for getting a heart actually increase during a holiday weekend.  We sure wouldn't mind if that held true.
She has been able to "sit-up" the last three days for about an hour at a time.  They are able to slide her from her bed onto another bed that converts into a chair.  She has already sat-up twice today for a total of two hours.  The doctors are pleased with how she is doing.

We know this might sound like a broken record but we again want to thank everyone for all that you have done for us.  Receiving cards, e-mails or visits sure lift our spirits.  And, certainly all of the prayers being lifted up on Rachel's behalf is encouraging as well.  Also, to those who have helped us out financially, we certainly appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Words can not express the gratitude we have in our hearts for everything that has been done for us.

Tell my favorite red-headed niece that I love her and miss being able to see her.

Tell her brother he has stinky feet.

Rachel seeing you sitting in the chair today and your beautiful eyes and seeing you so alert made my heart jump. I felt so good inside to see you looking so radiant today. I love you with all my heart.
