From M& B's Blog:
Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers. The operation went well. Her blood pressure is up and they were able to insert a drainage tube into her lung while they were in there. They will remove it in a few days. The dr seems very optimistic that this will solve many, if not all, of her problems...including her need for the ventilator. Please pray this is true as it will mean we can start to hold her. She is not awake yet (still sedated - as we would all want to be after this) so keep praying she will come out of the anesthesia well.

Please Pray for Emily Grace

I copied this from M&B's Blog...

PRAYERS PLEASE!!! Emily Grace is going in for surgery on her heart valve this afternoon at 1pm (PST). The biggest complication is actually the general anesthesia and her not waking back up from it. The other two complications are infection and getting an air bubble in her lungs that will make it to her heart. We will update as soon as we know.

Sunday School

Jayden will finally go in the Sunday School Classroom at Church!
(as long as someone stays with him, but it's a start) It's taken him a long time to come to this point. We've been paged many times to come pick him up from the nursery because he can't calm down. The last few times we were paged he had cried so hard he broke out in a rash! So, this is a big step for our little guy!

Here he is having a snack during Sunday School...
Fun with Play-Doh
Watching a movie with his new friends!
A serious picture....
Playing with toys
He's been two weeks in a row and has learned that God made Man (he brought home a little colored man on a Popsicle stick) and that God made Flowers (he planted seeds in a cup). We're so proud of our little guy and can't believe he's old enough to go to Sunday School!

Our prayer is that Jayden will continue to grow in the knowledge of Christ and become a Godly example for all.
