family update

on tuesday of this week, i was experiencing a great deal of pain and called the doctor's office. they saw me and ended up admitting me back in the hospital with an infection in my uterus. they say it can be common with c-sections and the treatment is IV antibiotics. i was discharged from the hospital thursday night with oral antibiotics to continue to fight the infection. the pain is getting better but we would continue to ask for your prayers as i recover from the surgery. it has been a little more of a struggle than i thought it would be. i have high blood pressure from the preeclampsia, which the doctors are working on trying to control with medication. i lost a lot of blood during the surgery and my hemoglobin was low. they did not end up giving me a blood transfusion in hopes my body would just readjust and get back to normal. i am taking iron pills to help. i am pretty weak still and trying to recover while also wanting to make the trip to the hospital to see the girls. please pray for continued strength and recovery. and also, pray for Thad that he continues to feel strength from the Lord to handle all that has been going on. he is such a trooper and visits our girls before work, at lunch and then after work. it has helped knowing that he is at least there checking on them when i cannot. please pray for continued energy and health for him.

the great news is the girls are doing so well. keegan is most likely going to be coming home early this week sometime! they think samantha may not be far behind! and once maggie hears about her big sisters, we are sure she is going to be working on coming home too. she seems to be our little overachiever. we are so thankful for the girls and that they are doing well.

we taught keegan to pray before her meals!

samantha weighed 4 pounds last night, which means she has graduated to an open crib!

maggie, sleeping peacefully!
