Update #1

Blood work indicated no infection! Her heart function still looked pretty good but still not squeezing like they would like. Administering meds for that. The diagnosis seems to be that she will most likely have to have an alternate feeding method which will be solved with a procedure at U of M. We will know for sure soon but the cardiologist here will be in touch with Dr. Devaney (Lindsay's surgeon at U of M) on Monday to let him know that she is here. He will probably ultimately make the decision on what to do. It will be a long weekend! If she is still on a ventilator, she will be airlifted or if not on the vent, she will be ambulanced there. Either way, most likely we will end up in Ann Arbor again this next week.
All for now. Keep praying!
With Love, Suzie

Anonymous said...: My stomach dropped last night when we got the call from JR. But... I just know that she will be fine! She's so strong and like you (Suzie) said she proved that again last night with the IV's. I show Ethan her pictures everyday and talk to him about her. He can't wait to meet her. He actually wants a baby sister at his house. HAHA!!!! What a little jokester! Anyway, JR said you had family watching the boys, but we would love to have them over! It really would give Ethan someone to play with :) Please remember that we are praying and thinking about all five of you all the time!!!

Love,
Monica, Shawn and Ethan too!!!; July 19, 2008 at 11:56 AM

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."
