So I was going to send you a quick update of all but now I have to add a special prayer for Amber's surgery on Monday (it is what they are saying today).

She was suppose to go to LA on Tuesday, she was not well and they didn't have room for her so they set it for Saturday. They still did not have room for her so they said Monday with surgery on Tuesday. Today (Sunday) we visited her and left, after being home for 20 minutes they called from LA saying the would be picking her up via helicopter in 30 minutes for surgery tomorrow (Monday). Amber is now 6 lbs and doing fairly well with feeds via g-tube. Once she is stable she will be able to come home, she needs a little oxygen right now but it's mainly on room air. This surgery will also get us one step closer to her coming home. Please pray that it all goes well in the next few days and that the surgery goes as scheduled on Monday.

Your prayers are so powerful, here is an update of your answered prayers:

Amber continues to take more steps forward than back.

Joy (mom - Joanna) - went home after a few days.

Graciela (mom - Yolanda) - was able to continue the feedings, get better at breastfeeding and went home last week.

Molly (mom - Lori, twin brother - Jacob) - is doing well with her feeding, no need for heart surgery after all until she is older and will be going home on Tuesday.

I am loosing all the friends I've made, I will need to make new friends there :-)

Miss Kitty - Taylor will not be at school tomorrow.
Mrs Elkin - Kyana will not be at school tomorrow.
- the girls will be at my brother's house and will spend the night at my mom's while we stay with Amber and figure out what's next.

Ladies... to all who have volunteer to help with my girls, I will be calling you soon on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for coverage. Love you and thank you ahead of time.

To everyone... thank you for all your support, positive vibe, and prayers, love you all.

Jessie and Kurt
