A WEDNESDAY WELCOME

Good Morning and welcome to Wednesday and the news I have about the American kids in our transplant family is as follows:

"This little boy gives me strength I never knew I had, him and his brother are my reason for living. I'm so blessed to be their mommy! :)"

and

"Ethan feels much better today. He's starting to get those chubby steroid cheeks back. He can have real food now but still chooses the soup. Keep the prayers coming....God is listening! :)"

So there is some good news there but please hold this little boy close he still has a way to go.

Miss McKenzie is apparently making her own decisions.

Apparently, Miss McKenzie decided she has had enough of the ventilator. They were trying to wean her off. At 5:30 AM, she removed it by herself! Poor mom and dad woke up to alarms, machines going off and doctors and nurses in the room. She wanted her binkies! Now that is a hard core addict. Pray for the docs and nurses. She woke up with an attitude. She is done with this being in the hospital stuff

She had a blood clot damming the fistula. It came through as well as old brown blood. Please pray there is no new blood with it. Mom said the docs were not happy, but not surprised either.

and

Super thankful for your prayers. Keep em coming

She's breathing room air. She is starting to have blood output through her g-tube again. It is continuing through 

her fistula. Her labs are dropping. Please pray

That is the latest news I have and I will post this to Facebook manually rather than leave it for Networked Blogs to post because they are taking many hours to post and I want this information out there.

Keep up the prayers and positive thoughts and rejoice with me because today I celebrate 77 weeks post transplant and I am alive and well and thankful each day for my donor and his family.

Love and hugs,

Linda.
