...all night long. Here's a shot of Ruthie and Evening yesterday in the PICU. Sweet Evening is still on the mend and located now in a private room in the PICU. She now is off of supplemental oxygen, but still has a chest tube, one IV and various monitors on her. She is one tough women though - we are both very impressed with her. The team of surgeons, cardiolgists and nurses seem quite pleased with her progress. The most difficult thing is getting her to eat regularly again. She isn't very interested in eating (but then again I wouldn't be either 4 days from open heart surgery with tubes every which way). It will still be a few days until we check out. Until then she continues to charm the staff so much that they argue over who can work with her.We continue to be blessed with staying in the Ronald McDonald house that sits just the floor above the PICU (http://www.ronaldshouse.com/). I am again so pleased and impressed with this entity. Its been a very helpful place to retreat to sleep and eat briefly.
Keep the thoughts and prayers rolling - they seem to be empowering little Evening a touch more each day.

Ruthie and Scott,
How wonderful she is looking!! That is a great picture - showing the strength and drive that you all have.
Today at the end of Mass Abbey looks at me and says out fo the blue ... "God has fixed Evening's heart" ...
We are all praying for you everyday!
Hugs and Kisses to Evening from Hannah and Abbey!

What a great photo!!! Evening looks so big and strong. Thank you for sharing it with us.
We can't wait to have you guys home soon. We need to get Evening prepped for the Rutabaga Toss. We will continue to send positive thoughts for all of you.

Ruthie,
You and Evening just glow in this picture. Katie, Andy and Erin pray nightly for their newest cousin. Our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.
