Will has continued to improve overnight. He has gone down slightly, however, while his girth hasn't changed, he looks physically smaller. His skin is not stretched so badly and has lost its reddish colour. Interestingly, his is now showing a trend of being smaller in the morning, and bigger in the afternoon. He has lost a little weight, but is still heavier than his birth weight. He's currently at around 3.15 kg. The doctors think he should be around 2.6, so the volume of fluid is around 600ml. He was very active this morning, and created a but of a stir when he tried to pull out his ventilator tube. I don't blame him. It looks very uncomfortable. (sorry took the photo with the flash on, but I think its quite funny). The glucose has seemingly been fine. When I came in they were just finishing changing his nappy, and its fair to say everythings working fine. Impeccable timing on my part I think. They are still talking of both taking out the ventilator and giving him milk today. I've been kicked out while the senior Doctors round is happening. Presumably when I get back in I'll know the answers to those questions. If so, I'll have a photo Will with no ventilator when I get back home. Julie is currently at her Doctors clinic getting the stitches out. She is a little nervous about this so please pray for her. I cannot reiterate enough our great appreciation for everyone's support. We are convinced that God answers prayer, and so we feel so blessed to have so much prayer being offered for Will and for us. Another update shortly hopefully with results from the current Doctors visit.

Hi Harry, Julie
It's your strong faith in God that motivates all of us to pray for little Will. You have taugh us all a great lesson how to overcome adversity - one alone cannot do it, but with the grace of God and stongly bonded community, mircles do happen.
God bless you all and your family, and friends.
Love,
Tom and Kim
This is from your cousin Sue in Bondi. It is the third time I have attempted to send you a message but obviously the gene Harry inherited for IT genius developed
after I was born (which was a l.o.o.o.ng time before he was)
Evelyn phoned me and asked me to pray for my newest second cousin, Will. Of course I am more than happy to and have been every day since. I am so pleased that there seems to be small improvements each time I check your site.
There is no greater gift than faith and you, Julie and Harry, are
blessed in abundance. You have such a wonderful family and group
of friends who are so strong in their Christian belief. I am sure that mountains will move with all the praying going on.
And here is an amazing coincidence.
I have known Judy Adamson since she was about 7 years old.
May God continue to bless your
special family and friends and
may precious Will continue to improve.
By the way, you have beautiful children.
xxxx Cousin Sue Turner
