Friday, July 7th

The doctors have been treating Claire for an infection and she will continue to be on antibiotics for another couple of days. Her "spirit" seems to be back after being on the antibiotics for 24 hours. They are still trying to determine the cause of her inability to digest food and all of the tests so far have come back "normal". She will continue to rest (i.e. they will not put her feed tube back in) through the weekend before undergoing some more tests on Monday.

Mom, Dad, Madelyn & Grace are going to try out a new beach (Cresent Beach) in Portland before visiting Claire on Saturday.....
