Jessie and Kurt, we did pray for you and your family in bible study today. I'm so glad Amber is hanging in there and not re-intubated. As always, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. Your strength and courage through all of this, as well as your ability to think about all the other families going through their struggles at the hospital, is an inspiration.
