Breathing Tube and PICU

Hello everyone,

  Well Amarie is supposed to wake up tomorrow (Friday, April 24).  They are going to take her into surgery in order to remover her breathing tube.  We are so excited to see her little eyes again!  She will have to spend at least another day in the PICU, but after that she should be able to move to another less serious room.  She will have to be monitored for another week, but at least she will be awake and breathing on her own.  The jaw continues to grow as the doctors adjust it twice a day.  This will contiue for another 7-8 weeks.  Corin will have to adjust it when we take her home.  Everyone has been awesome through all of this.  Corin's mother (Mary) has been over our house and the hospital almost every day.  My mother has been calling every day to check on her.  Corin's sister Marissa has been an incredible emotional support.  Mary's small group has been amazing, they have cleaned our house, made us meals, and have been consistantly praying for us.  Our friends Laura, Hannah, and Jesse have made us meals and dog sat while we needed to be at the hospital over night.  Jim (Corin's father) has been at the hospital on a regular basis too.  My aunt's are pitching in to pay some of our utilities this month.  The Tucker's were very generous with some gift cards.  Thank you everyone who has been so amazing, and if I forgot to mention your name I apologize, there are just so many people who have helped us through this.  Thank you everyone!
