Taryn update

Good morning everyone and Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Taryn had a good night last night and is resting well this morning. She was put on a traditional vent yesterday and has responed well to it. Dr. Smith took her chest tube out last night and she also start a feeding tube. The plastic surgeons will assess her beautiful little toes first thing in the morning and let us know if they will need to remove any of them. Taryn's left big toe is the one in most doubt, but the good Lord has answered so many prayers this week that we have not given up on any toes yet. Taryn was upgraded to critical but very stable. She could be off the vent within 3-4 days if she keeps progressing. Traci has been solid as a rock and is the strongest woman I have ever known. Traci has however been very sick herself and will be evaluated this morning to see what she needs to fix her up. Please continue to pray for Taryn's little lungs and heart and start praying really hard for that left big toe. I love each and everyone of you and praise God
for all the prayers and thoughts. I want to say a special thanks for the Wootn family for coming down last night and staying with us so Traci could rest. Also, to the Melbers for being here the past few days and all they have done for our family. The Lord has truly blessed us with special friends. Traci will be posting on the blog all the events of our week later today. I want to leave you with a thought that has been on my mind all week since reading it on a church billiboard earlier in the week..."God gives us grace not when we deserve it, but He gives us grace when we don't deserve it." God Bless, Dave

Know that our prayers are with you all and today we pray specifically for taryn's little toes....that they will be made new today just as Lord's glorious body was made new this day some 2000 years ago.
