Jessica was discharged last night from the hospital and we were able to spend the night at home.

Andrew has had slight improvement. He is wearing very stylish shades because he is under a bright light for jaundice. His billiruben (sp?) level is better.

He is still on the ventilator, but the assistance from the vent has reduced over half. It was assisting him at 45 bpm and now it is down to 20 bpm. He is still breathing a little fast. All of his blood work has shown improvement.

The fluid in his lungs is thinning and he seems to be happy despite all the tubes and poking.

There is no estimated time of discharge for Andrew. Logan, William, and Sara really want to see him.

Thanks for all your prayers. Thanks to Rachel, Michelle, and Brad for all you have done.

Sounds like things are progressing well mate. Thank God he is under good care and they're making sure he's really strong before he gets to go home. Great news that he's relying less on ventilator :) God bless you guys...I know it's hard. We had twins in hospital 3 weeks after Tracy was discharged. Praying for you.

Yay! Sounds like Andrew is progressing and getting stronger. Reed was born premature and had to be helped for a little while too. They said she would have needed more help if she had been a boy - nurses called it "Lazy White Male" syndrome ;-)

Praying that he gets to come home soon.
