We’re happy to share that Addi is doing very well so far after being released from the hospital! She is continuing to gain weight, and so far everything is looking really encouraging. Her surgeon checked on her today and said that if her numbers stay strong each week, the family may even be able to come home before Christmas — something they’re holding onto with so much hope.

Addi’s incision is healing beautifully. Her stitches are all internal, and today they were able to remove the medical tape that covered her entire incision because she’s healing so well. Sleeping has been a bit tough for her, possibly from the low-fat diet she’s currently on, so everyone is exhausted — but pushing through the long days and long nights together. Between the required quarantining and the cold weather keeping them inside, life has been feeling a bit like Groundhog Day.

Meanwhile, sweet Lainee is working hard on all four of her top teeth at once, which has made her extra fussy. But when she does smile… it lights up the whole room and gives everyone the lift they need.

Through everything this family has faced — the hospital days, the recovery, the exhaustion, the uncertainty — they are still finding reasons to smile and moments to celebrate. Watching both girls grow, heal, and show their strength has been the biggest blessing of all.

Thank you for continuing to hold them in your thoughts and prayers. 💚
