The infection seems to be clearing! Her past 2 blood cultures show no baterica growing. That is definatley a relief. She seems to have responded well to the antibiotics. No more fevers, no more desatting. They actaully have been able to wean down some on her ventilator settings. Just by 1, but thats still a good sign that she tolerated it. Her sedation wean was halted this week with the infection, and vent decrease. We didnt want to push her too much. So her sedation will be decreased tomorrow. Her feedings were increased today. She seems to be making progess, slowly. Hopefully this will just put her in the best possible place, when her new lungs are ready for her.
  I wanted to pass on to all of you that our fellow transplant buddies, Faith and Wrenn both had good 6 month post transplant reports! We are so grateful and happy for them and their families!! Matt and I were able to meet Faith, and of course see her mom Andrea and grandma while they were in town for the appointments. It really helped to SEE first hand, a little girl who has been through this and is doing well! We also met a new transplant family. They were brought here this week to start the evaluation process for transplant. We would like to ask for prayers for this family, who has been through so much, and starting on this transplant journey. And continued prayers and thoughts for our other friend Jet in St Louis who is waiting along with Elizabeth. These kids have fought and continue to fight so hard to stay with us, they deserve a chance at life. And lastly please pray for ALL of our donor families, they are truly our heros!
