Elizabeth is 11 months old today!!!!
I have spent the day being so thankful for the progress Elizabeth has made overnight and today. The past five days we have had alot of emotions, going from one exteme to the other. We are so lucky to have a little girl who is fighting so hard to stay here with us! We love her so much and can not wait for her wake up and smile at us again!
 
We want to express how grateful we are for our parents, who have been here with us throughout the past five days. They have felt not only the pain and sadness of being concerned for Elizabeth. But I have seen how sad they have been for us. Since Elizabeth was born I have quickly learned how hard it is to see your child suffer and think I better understand how they feel seeing Matt and I struggle. And I hope that they ALL know how much we love them and how grateful we are that Elizabeth has such loving and caring grandparents.
I also want to share our gratitude for those who continue to support us. Many of my fellow co workers have been and continue to donate their personal time to me so that we dont have to stress over financial concerns. Matt's work has been very generous with allowing him to work from the hospital when he can. Numerous family members, friends and strangers have sent gift cards, packages, and most of all thoughts and prayers to us as well. There is no way for us to repay everyone for their generosity and support. But we hope that we can one day help others the same way all of you have helped us! We will always remind Elizabeth of those who have supported us and allowed us to be able to stay with her and ensure she gets the best possible care. 
We still have a long way to go, and we do not know where Elizabeth's journey will take us, but we are grateful for her and the chance to help make her life the best possible.
