Hey everyone! Sorry we missed a day! Lincoln is doing well...he actually has had a pretty decent 48 hours. Yesterday we hit 3 huge milestones! 1 - The Dr's had done another echocardiogram on him and found that his cardiac function and pressures have improved so they are saying "hold off on going back in to make any adjustments for now." 2 - He was able to be weaned off one of his heart medication called Epinephrine all the way. 3 - His vitals and his urine output have been great! If he keeps making these steps forward he should be transferred out of the CTU back down to the NICU before to long...so that is the prayer! Keep moving forward! Pray that as they try to wean off his other meds and make adjustments on the ventilator, Lincoln responds positively and becomes more stable. Keep praying that his little heart band is tight enough and the coarchtation stays open wide. Ben & Rachel Dhillon surprised us with a visit and of course the crazy youth pastor had to be funny in the picture. Kristen and I got to bathe Lincoln last night before we left the hospital. Kristen got a picture of me in the action. If you look at his face, a lot of his swelling has gone down due to him loosing the fluid by peeing...see, God answers prayer! So the plan for today remains the same...keep him comfortable, wean medication, watch and pray! We love you all and talk to you soon!

JOSH.....Happy Belated Father's Day
When I read the new info, it made me smile. So so glad he's doing so much better. I've had some restless nights lately and everytime I wake up, you three are on my mind. I'm constantly offering up prayers for you guys, in the middle of the night and during the day. Lincoln looks really good in the pictures, even better than last weekend. His swelling has improved and his color looks much better. What great news! Glad you got to give him a bath. What a blessing!
Love,
Michelle
Hi Josh and Kristen,
Praise the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness in Lincoln's little body! I rejoice with you and send big hugs and love to each of you and your family. Please give little Lincoln a kiss from Aunt Donna and lots of love. I look forward to the day when I will be able to see all of you and get a chance to hold Lincoln. It's neat that you had a chance to bathe him and be part of his routine. God is soooooooooo Good! I will continue to pray and have others do so as well. They will be thrilled at this news.
God's blessings to you as you continue in this great adventure with our Awesome God.
I love you,
Aunt Donna :-) Eph. 3:20
I was wondering what was going on (but I know you are busy too :-)! Like many others, I check Lincoln's blog to see how the Lord is strengthening his health! PTL for the good news! You are all such proof that the Lord sustains in times of trouble. What a wonderful witness to those lives you come into contact with throughout your journey...you don't know how many (including me!) who you are ministering too. God Bless you all!
Love
Amber
