Update

5 Generations!
Cousins




Thanks for your prayers! We are definitely feeling them. As of now, the blood culture from yesterday, Jan. 4, has not grown anything and is staying negative. If it stays that way, today would be considered day 2 of our 10 day antibiotic run and we would only have 8 more. Praise God! So please keep praying for a consistently negative culture!!! This also means that the medicine is working well. Mabry seems to be feeling better and better and you would never know she was sick if you were here with us now. That's the hard part for us.

As you know it's hard to get adequate rest in the hospital so please pray for that as well. Jeremiah and I need to take care of ourselves so we can take care of our baby girl. Last night Mabry was cranky for a lot of early hours. She has slept alot today, which I'm thankful for because she needs it to heal. I'm just worried she's getting her days and nights mixed up here. We are trying our best to stay in a routine, but the hospital doesn't seem to want to run on our routine for some reason... We would love for you to also pray for rest for Mabry - that she would sleep until she needs to eat, and then sleep some more. That she would not be confused, and that God would give us as the parents the knowledge to know what to do with her.

Thanks again for all your prayers, phone calls, and messages. We feel so loved and blessed to have so many friends and family on their knees beside us.

Pray for:
Negative blood culture
Sleep during the night
Guidance in how to care for her


Love you all!
