The Anderson Family August 31,2011

Sweet Caroline is doing very well today. She had a small set back this morning with her breathing, but the nurses indicated that all of what was occuring was very normal. Mary Beth and I were able to spend quite a bit of time with her both this morning, afternoon and evening. The times we can change her diaper, and hold her hand have changed to every three hours instead of every four hours. This is fantastic!

Mary Beth was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. She is doing well. The most important thing for her and baby Caroline is much needed rest.

Mary Beth and I visited with Caroline tonight. The nurses indicated that she is doing great. They have reduced her pressure on the lung machine. This is a good thing according to the nurses. Also, they have removed her arterial lines. This was excellent to hear as well. Ms. Caroline is making great progress and all of the many prayers are being answered. As we were talking with the nurses tonight she stretched her little arms and legs. She opened her little eyes and we were so glad to see her precious eyes again.

The Lord has been with us through every step of the way. He is our strength and comfort, and we know that no matter what He is in control and has a very special plan. Our guiding verse through all of this is Romans 8:28 " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose".

Each day we are more overwhelmed by the incredible love that we feel from Him through our amazing family and friends. The Lord has surrounded us with so many wonderful people and for that we are so grateful. We thank each and everyone  of you from the very bottom of our hearts. We love you!
