Day 3

God is hearing and answering our prayers! When Andersen arrived at St. Francis yesterday afternoon his oxygen intake was up to 51%. This was not good! Last night at 10:00 it was down to 27%! 21% is normal!!! Also, before leaving Bromenn hospital his chest was starting to cave in a little from his abnormal breathing. This has flattened out a lot! And...when he arrived in Peoria they couldn't find that heart murmer!!! PRAISE GOD! He is healing him moment by moment making him stronger and stronger. Andersen is also starting to make more movements which is great. Up until last night had hadn't really moved much at all.
His middle name isn't Zechariah for nothing, it means "God has remebered" God has remembered He has not left Him He is right there with him all the time bringing him to full healing.

As of right now Mandy is in-route to Peoria. She was released from the hosptital today around 11:30. I know this was a HUGE answer to prayer considering that she just had major surgery not even 24 hours ago! God is bringing her to complete healing as well.

I don't have any new pictures right now but will try to upload some later this evening.

Kid Update-
For the most part they are still doing pretty well. Clare was able to spend a little bit of time with Mandy last night and Braden got to visit her this morning before she left for Peoria. Clare, Chloe, and Braden all slept with their picture of baby Andersen under their pillow last night. I'm amazed at the love God had put in these little kiddos heart for their baby brother already. Like I said in the last post, they have only seen him through a glass window, they haven't touched him or held him yet and they love him so much! They pray for him, talk about him, and can't wait to bring him home.

Thank for your prayers. Please keep bringing this little angel and his family before the throne of our Heavenly Father.

Love, Alyssa
