Today is Aidan's 6th birthday and we had his party at Pump It Up in Jackson and videotaped the whole thing to show Melisa. Melisa was wide awake this morning when we went to visit her and has begun writing to us on a dry erase board since she is still on the ventilator and is unable to talk. Mel's nurse was so sweet today and let Aidan go back to see Melisa for his birthday.
So far Melisa is improving as expected; her wound is healing nicely and her immune system has been working in high gear. The doctors have said they expect her to be in ICU for a few more days and then in a regular room for a good while after that.
Thank you all for your prayers!
