ICU Update and Birthday Party

Today we heard the good news that JR’s kidneys are starting to function again. That is a tremendous answer to prayer. This morning he was taken to surgery for a trach tube and a feeding tube. The surgery went well and JR is slowly coming out of the coma and is more aware each day as the anesthetics leave his system. He is in much pain...please continue praying.

Yesterday, Serenity had her first birthday so we all decided to take her birthday party up to the ICU waiting room. When she was born Joyce and I were still on the US Mainland, so May and Tony Vigil did grandma and grandpa duties, helping with Titus and Courage and making sure that Serenity had the proper car seat for leaving the hospital. May was one of the first people to hold Serenity after she was born.

Samantha made a carrot cake with apple sauce, raisins and pineapple.

 

Serenity had four pieces, I think

 

Everyone eventually got a piece of cake.

Serenity had a happy birthday. She really enjoyed putting her feet in the painted feet on the floor at the entrance to the ICU
