updates...

Just spoke with one tired mommy... Elizabeth was released this morning from Regional Medical Center in Anniston. They have seen baby Isabella , but they haven't been able to hold her yet since she is in a incubator. She is still on a ventilator (although I believe it is on assist mode-which means that she breathes on her own, and the vent kicks on only when she needs it). Her white blood counts are low, her red blood counts are high and her platlets are low. The docs are doing tests to determine why. Her heart is healthy, she had a 50/50 chance of having a heart condition, they are all VERY thankful for good health there. She is still bloated, but has "used" several diapers up (front and back) so they are hoping for improvement on that front also. Elizabeth said that Isabella would probably be at UAB and maybe transferred to Children's for a total time in the hospital of 1 -2 weeks. Eddie, Elizabeth, and Mrs. Betty Creed are staying in a hotel near the hospital. They is there resting for tonight. Joe and Mary have the girls and are back in Wedowee.

They are really going through a tumultuous time... please pray for peace and patience for their whole family. I am sure that they are filled with many mixed emotions...

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The children's department is hosting a hot dog supper on March 28th. The cost is $5, you get a hotdog, chips, and a drink. They are also having the children bake cakes (and asking for cake donations) to have a cake auction. The auctioneers will be Mark Prestridge and Brad Laney. The proceeds will benefit Crucified Life Ministries where it will be applied to the tuition of students in El Salvador. The children raised enough money during VBS this summer to sponsor 3 children during this school year. They are hoping to continue that sponsorship. Come out, buy tickets, bake a cake... whatever you can do. Our kids are so proud when they are able to help other children their age!
