BIG NEWS: Katelyn Update

Thank you, Morrow family, for this balloon
it's really helped our baby girl!

I am SO excited to tell everyone that last night Katelyn started moving again!  To give you some perspective, starting last Monday morning when she woke up, I can count the number of times she has crawled or walked on one hand.  Last night, for reasons unknown to us, she got very excited about being in her hospital crib... first she sat up unaided... then she rolled over and got onto all fours and played for a long time like that, bouncing up and down, holding the bars and shaking her crib, etc... then she began actually crawling around her crib, playing with all her toys... and then, all on her own, trying to reach this little balloon from her cousins, she pulled herself up to a standing position in her crib!  Three times last night she stood up in her crib by herself!

This is such a good sign for her.  We are so excited and so grateful to see signs of improvement in her condition!

Please continue to pray for our sweet girl - we have another quiet day today, but tomorrow will be quite traumatic.  She has to have blood work again and they will remove her surgery dressing and drain, which will be a long and uncomfortable process for her.  Plus, she is still responding frantically when anyone other than family comes into her room, so this will certainly be a difficult time for her.  We will talk again after the results of the blood work are back about when she might go home.  If she fails this next blood test it'll be at least another 2 days before we come home.  Thank you all!
