Our First Family Thanksgiving
Alec and Lilah continue to improve, although slowly and in "baby steps". Yesterday, the doctors removed Alec's breathing tube and this morning, they removed one of the catheters which is a good thing/ Lilah had a breathing tube put in yesterday so that she didn't have to work so hard to get oxygen and has responded well, as she is now breathing the same level of oxygen as the rest of us, where as before the hospital had to increase her oxygen levels by almost 3 times, so this is a great step in the right direction. We are hopeful that she will come off the tube in the next few days and will continue to pass along information as it is ave dvailable.
As we celebrate our first Thanksgiving as a family of 4, I find myself thankful for so much. For all of you who have sacrificed to help us during the stressful last 5 weeks, I am thankful. For my family and friends who continue to support us, pass along their prayers and love, I am thankful. For the strength my wife has had throughout an ordeal that would have crushed most people I am thankful. And for the son and daughter we now have, for their strength, beauty and indomitable spirit, I am thankful to the point that I cannot express with words.
May you all have a very happy, healthy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with you families!
All our love,
The Atlas Family
