Day 17: Evie "Turns A Corner" and Gavin Turns Into "Baby Hercules"

Very good news to day from Dr. Van Bergen: in his exact words, Evie "has turned a corner." She was breathing easier today, so they were able to reduce the amount of oxygen they are giving her through the cannula. She needed a lot of sleep today, and she slept peacefully, not fitfully. When she was awake, she was alert and didn't look so "spacey," and also had less trembling in her hands.



Here she is with Grandpa Cermak. She was alert, but very mellow, and it wasn't long before she needed another nap:


With Nana Cermak:


The other day I came downstairs to find Gavin shoving the pack-n-play all over the place. Francis said, "Check out Baby Hercules over here!"


Gavin is so strong - the only furniture he hasn't moved are the couches and coffee table!


Here is our little action hero. We love the look of concentration on his face!

So wonderful to see both of them getting stronger! Imagine Gavin thinking, 'if I just learn how to move mountains, maybe my sister will come back...' How gratifying knowing that the medical team is moving mountains to get Evie well. She looks wonderful.

love and blessings, jan

Sleeping peacefully must mean she is getting better! I talked with the ladies from the DPCC Rosary group to give them an update and she continues to be at the top of their prayer list (and mine). Go Evie!
