Daisha Update 6/20

We apologize for not updating you on Daisha's progress over the past day and a half, but suffice it to say that my flight with the boys on Friday did not go as smoothly as Keri and Daisha's on Thursday night. After a smooth flight to Charlotte, we promptly got on our plane to Chicago, taxied out from the airport, sat for 2 hours in a hot plane, taxied back to the airport, reclaimed our luggage, stood in a reticketing line for 2 more hours, got a flight to Indy for Saturday afternoon, and got a hotel for the night, all because of bad storms at O'Hare. Sorry, I know this email is not supposed to be about the adventures of how the three amigos conquered Charlotte Douglas airport, but it is part of the story. Anyways,Daisha is doing great. After arriving in Peoria, she has gone from having oxygen support, down to only assistance with the regular air in the room, and now she is off all breathing support. She did have more jaundice set in and so she is under the light until her levels return to normal. Keri is giving her a bottle regularly and has gotten to hold her. She is progressing through her plans and responding well. We are so thankful. I realize that I have been slightly demanding over the past few posts in my requests for prayer and so allow me to continue by making two more demands. #1 is that we ask you to keep praying for Daisha as her health remains in the Lords hands, #2 is that we want you to rejoice with us for the Lord's provision on behalf of Daisha and our family. Thank you so much. We are absolutely confounded by the love and support we have received. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Love,
Plattners

Thanks for the update, we certainly will continue to pray for Daisha, and praise God for His provision! Your trip home sounds very stressful, especially with 2 little guys. Have a happy Father's Day!

Oh Kirk. that is so terrible about being stuck in a plane--a HOT plane for a few hours with toddler boys.

I am glad that you made it through and we are so glad that baby Daisha is getting stronger.

We love you guys!
