Tuesday, 11pm

After a sleepless night, the girls had a full and busy day.  They got to go for a "walk", have more x-rays, physical and speech, therapy, and Erika even fit in some math work today.  There were lots of medical visitors.  Hospital staff have been busy trying to access the varying abilities of the girls, getting them ready for discharge.

Erika's doctor is very pleased with her breathing.  Her oxygen levels have increased from yesterday.

Trixie Lee and Rachel Hoffman visited the girls this evening.  They were also able to visit via "Skype" with the Bennetts in Fairbanks.  The girls were able to have a meal together with Mom, Dad, and VickiTaylor tonight also.

Planning for discharge is a positive step, but it is extremely overwhelming for Don and Jennifer.  Please pray for wisdom, patience, and sanity  for those caring for the girls.  Brittany and Erika are at a very demanding phase of healing at this moment  and need our prayers, particularly for emotional healing.

1 God is our refuge and strength,
   an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
   and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
   and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
   I will be exalted among the nations,
   I will be exalted in the earth.”  

                            Psalm 46:1-3,10
