I love this picture. Dena took this picture the other day without us knowing and just showed it to me. Mike is holding Elizabeth's foot and I am holding Mike's hand. You can see the bracelet Elizabeth made Mike - it says Jehovah - to go with his allergy bracelet and hospital bracelet. It is funny because when Elizabeth was little she would cry in the back seat. So Mike would reach back and hold her foot. It would calm her down. As she grew older, the action became known as "foot pie". So while Mike is not really aware during this picture, he was still calming his baby with a simple, loving action of foot pie.

Mike is holding and fighting. His oxygen rate varies from the low 80's to the low 90's. His white blood count is high, which indicates an infection. His red blood count is low and he might need a transfusion in a day or so. His lungs are very congested from the aspiration and he is doing breathing treatments every 4 hours and getting suctioned, which he hates.

I keep reminding him that "Nothing is impossible with God" just breath. Or I will say, "Mike all you have to do is breath and let Jesus to the rest". This road is uncharted. Never in our wildest dreams did we see this coming. But, we are walking every moment. Living every moment. Praising for every moment.

Thank you for your prayer and posts. So many wonderful friends and so many good memories.
