Hi everyone:
I've been working on travel today and will meet Suzie and JR for some Tina food this evening and then visit Lindsay with them.
Their afternoon visit was delayed because when they work on any babies in the same area, no one can go in. We understand that.
The current update from them is that Lindsay is being weened off of the epinephrine and back onto morphine so she was a little more alert and actually opened her eyes and reacted to their touch. Suzie said that her eyes actually look blue. While they were in her room they met with her surgeon and he said that she's doing fantastic. Yes, those were his words.
It's a small world sometimes. When we were in talking to Lindsay's nurse yesterday she told us that she's been here for 20 years. I asked her if she remembered a family by the name of Grainger? She said, you mean Taylor? She actually took care of Taylor 16 years ago. Taylor is our special angel now ( I wear a wrist band in her memory every day) and this meant a lot to us that this special nurse (Jen) was our baby's caregiver. If Barbie and Ken (I mean Rob and Karen) are reading this, I hope in some way that gives you comfort.
I'll do my usual update later this evening.
Heart Hugs,
Linda

Heart Poem
It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."

Linda,
Thank you SO much for taking all the time to update us so regularly! It's amazing and all the love and support from everyone sure shows! I am SO happy to hear the word "fantastic"! That's great news!!
Suzie,
I hope you are getting some much needed rest! I KNOW how hard that can be at a time like this, but don't forget to take care of yourself too!! Those postpartum horomones can make one a blubbering mess at times!! Let it out!! I LOVE you all and think of you all the time!!
Hi Suzie,
Wow, you got a super report from the Dr. one hurdle crossed. We'll keep praying. Love seeing all the pictures. Your always wearing a smile. Your awesome!
heart hugs
That is incredible news! Isn't so reassuring to see her surgeon there, too? I know it meant so much to me to see Annabelle's surgeon walking around and checking constantly on his little patients.
Praying for you daily...Go Lindsay!!!
Heart hugs~ Rebecca
Dear Suzie, Jr and Lindsay,
We are so thankful that Lindsay is doing so well. We are keeping the postive energy going for another good night and a nice day tomorrow. We love you all and are thinking of you always.

That is some good news from the Doctor. Mom, you don't know how much this blog keeps me going because I have been worried sick about my niece Lindsay. I wish I could be there for family support! You have no idea. Please stay strong Suzie and JR and know that you both are on my mind constantly. When god puts us in these situations nothing else seems to matter other than family. Lindsay looks more precious than ever and tell her that her uncle Dan loves her the next time you get to see her.
