Saturday afternoon update

We just spent time with Kira's ICU doc again. He did more extensive nerve testing this morning and hasn't really found that much has changed regarding brain activity, which means there continues to be no evidence of brain activity. Also Kira's heart and lungs continue to show signs of weakness.

Merlin and Mary Lou have asked that Kira's treatment remains the same for now. We're standing by them in this and ask that you, our brothers and sisters continue to pray...for a miracle and that God's will be done and He be glorified. Pray that Merlin and Mary Lou would continue to hear the voice of Jesus clearly and experience His presence in very real ways.

Marlea (5 years old) has been so sweet and needs our prayers too. She spent some time here at the hospital yesterday and again today. Currently she's with her little sister, Kira, in the ICU. Marlea needs Jesus' special care too. Pray that Kira's baby sister, Anna (10 mos.) would feel loved and secure as she's not able to have as much mommy-time right now. She's been doing quite well.

Again, thank you for caring! Thank you to those of you who are caring for our children, bringing yummy food, and more. We love you all.
