Kayla continues to do well this morning. She has been without fever since last night, however she will have to remain without fever for 48 hrs before allowed to go home. Blood Cultures are being done every 12 hrs and antibiotics administered every 6 hrs to help her body combat infection. They have not determined the cause of the fever and we may never know. The latest blood count showed an upward trend therefore she may be coming home sometime on Saturday.
Linda has been staying at the hospital while Stephanie Carter (sister in law) and Ms Honey (mother in law) take turns with Alex. I am dividing my time between work, home and the hospital. Kayla’s pediatrician has been of amazing support to all of us. She is indeed a prayer warrior and a great source of confidence and strength. We appreciate and love her very much.
We welcome our family from Honduras to our prayer arsenal, it is good to have you on board. Our family has been showered with attention and prayers and for this we are eternally grateful. My words are not adequate to express how much this means to us. It is one thing when people do nice things for you, but when people love your children that is a completely different game. You have done just that, you have loved our children and that touches a very tender spot in our hearts.
Please continue to pray for infections to leave Kayla’s body and for her blood count to go back to normal levels while we gear up for our next trip to Memphis.

May 29th, 2008 at 6:22 pm Miralces are seen when we allow him complete control of our situation. When we are our weakest, we are able to see his strength. We trust the Lord for complete healing! We need to pray for his work to be done quickly and effectively. Not IF, but WHEN! Kayla is HIS child and he loves her as such. He has a plan for her life! His word says: “For I know the plans I have for you,” plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This word is for Kayla. Jer 29:11 (NIV) I’m praying for you!
