These are pre-surgery pictures (plus a bonus picture of Owen having fun with his Papa). I didn't think everyone would want to see Charlotte with all of her tubes, but hopefully we'll have some post-tube pictures soon. I am so excited to report that she is improving every day. She has been extubated and had her chest tubes removed, along with her arterial line, catheter, and a periferal line. From here on out we're waiting for her lungs to stay clear and her eating to improve. As long as she has some lung congestion, she has to undergo chest PT. Please pray that this problem resolves itself quickly. This mommy is not very good at watching her baby girl get drummed and suctioned. As for eating, she is still very sleepy from the anesthesia and pain medications, so that makes eating a little more of a challenge (I'm not so good at drinking milk in my sleep either). Thanks again to all of you who are reading this and praying with us through this challenging time.

We'll be praying for those requests! Love you guys.
praise God! we have been thinking and praying, we are SO glad to hear a good report and pray for continued progress.
She is just so beautiful! I love the hair. We have been praying for you and probably more people than you realize as well. I was at a party where a few people knew you all but we stopped (all 15 of us) to pray for you. Glad to hear the encouraging news.
Praise God for the successful surgery! Hang in there you guys. Go Charlotte!
Just wanted to let you all know we're praying for you. Praise the Lord that Charlotte is doing so well. She is beautiful :)
Love,
The Dillards
