Update

This is abi's foot she got this tattoo a while ago. 
Her and Steph have matching tattoos on their feet. 

It says, "My brokenness helped me to see it's Grace I'm standing on."

Today Miss Abi had a 3 hour surgery. They were able to put together her intestines, however she still has an open abdomen. They put some sutures in to start the closing process. Hopefully they will be able to close her abdomen on friday. Also during this surgery they put some pins in her pelvis. They had to go through the sides of her body to do it. They were originally going to have to wait, until they could put her on her side or tummy. Then today they told us they would go through the front. Instead they went through the sides by her hips.

After the surgery they refused to let her have visitors. Her levels and vitals are not coming down and she is still not responding to the surgery well. Her brain pressure levels are very elevated. Not a good thing.
Today has been a very long emotional day, please keep our family in your prayers. My brother Matthew arrives in an hour I have not seen him in 6 years. We are excited but it is bitter sweet.

If there is anything to update later tonight I will.
