Hatcher's (well, OK mine too) favorite nurse AMY! We love you and know we will be friends for years to come! Thanks for being so good to our little cowboy! 
I love little parts of him that I actually get to a kiss on! 
The swelling in his face has really gone down, he looks a little more like Hatcher today! 
First of all we want to thank all of our friends, family and even strangers who have given us so much strength. Although exausted, we continue to be lifted up by all of you! Hatcher is still on ecmo, and is very sick, but he is making small amounts of progress each day. He continues to have fluid on his right lung which is his biggest hurdle at this time. I have been so hesitant to take any pictures but felt like today is a new day with new hope! Both of the Papa's stayed by Hatcher's bed side last night so Randy and I could sleep. Walking out of the room I couldn't help but tear up seeing these two strong men that he loves so much watching over my sick little boy. Love to all of you, go give those you love an extra hug and kiss!
As hard as I'm sure it is (when you have so many things to do and be worried over), it is wonderful to hear your updates. We're always anxious to hear of Hatcher's improvements. You are all in our minds constantly - our love and concern is with you always!
ReplyDeleteWe are constantly thinking and praying for your family, thank you so much for the update, he us one tough little cowboy!
ReplyDeleteWe are all still praying! Tonight, David said his prayers. His prayers are so sweet and I can tell he loves Hatcher so much, even though he has never met him. We love you! Wish we could be there to help.
ReplyDeleteKeep Fighting little Cowboy!! You are on our minds and in our prayers continually. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteI love the new updates and pics!! He looks more like little Hatcher now! It is killing us not to be there with you guys. Hang in there and always know we are praying and loving you and your sweet little family!
ReplyDeleteHatcher and your family have been in our prayers and will continue to be!

Go Hatcher!! We are still cheering for you here in Washington! We will keep praying for you until the day you are home comfortably with your family! Thank you for the update.
ReplyDeleteNot a second goes by that we're not thinking about you Britt and Randy, Jax . . . and ESPECIALLY HATCHER. I was totally not expecting updates on the blog - wow, how you never cease to amaze me li'l sis. I have felt so heavy all week and it killed me to get sick and to not be able to come - want to be there with you more than anything. Yesterday for the first time - my heart wasn't so heavy. I know HOPE lifts, FAITH gives us peace, GRATITUDE draws us near, and LOVE heals. Praying, praying, praying - love you.
ReplyDeleteJanelle has been keeping us updated on Hatcher. The pictures break my heart but so glad you get to kiss and touch him. He's had some hurdles and we are cheering him on along the way. Thinking and praying for you all. Looks like Hatcher's in good hands with his "favorite nurse." Stay strong!

ReplyDeleteYou're entire family has constantly been in our thoughts and prayers! Even Brynn who doesn't even know him is sure he's at the front of her prayers with something along the lines of "bless my awesome cousin to get stronger and better so he can come over and play with me" :) You and Randy are amazing parents with such strength and love. I'm so glad you have a nurse that you love - makes all the world of difference! Bryson's cousin who lives in Idaho Falls has a son with HLHS and she's been following your blog and has high hopes for Hatcher as well! We love you and look forwards to your return!!! We love you all!! ~Bethany, Bryson, Brynn and Abby
