Remember last week's entry about Ornery Gabe & a Baby Named Hope (or some such title)? Well... just wanted to let everyone know that, round about Monday, Hope turned a corner and has been making improvements ever since. There is much still up in the air about the long-term effects of her difficult birth, but she is now off the ventilator, breathing well on her own. She is being fed breast milk through a feeding tube in her nose. And she is starting to exhibit behaviors more typical of a newborn -- reacting sometimes to stimuli, "peeping" if not actually crying, opening her eyes a bit. We who love her and her family are so thrilled by God's miracle in-the-works in her.
I wanted to share with you the web address of her "Caring Bridge" site, if you're interested. It has been passed around to many, even beyond her immediate social circle. Please add your prayers and well-wishes to those already being offered (either privately or by signing the guestbook). Go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/hopepoehler.
What a difference a week makes! And we can only wait and see what another week will bring.
