Lindsay has had a wonderful day and eating like a little piggy. She is up to 80 cc's every 3 hours and not one spit up! She has taken allot of that in her bottle but, if she is sleeping, we don't awake the princess, :-) and just give it to her in her NG tube. She is still doing well with her weaning and might be in moderate care tomorrow or the next day. We shall see. There is one medication that she is still on that is holding her back from the move so hopefully by Thursday we will have a new address in this place! There is a picture below of another nurse favorite of ours, Jen Alberts. As you can tell by the little grin on Lindsay's face, she kind of likes her too. Yes folks, she is smiling!! I can't even begin to tell you my feeling when I saw that again for the first time in almost 3 weeks!
Praying for Lindsay to continue on her good feeding frenzy and to tolerate weening off her meds so that we can get the heck out of the PCTU. Love all the people that work in POD A but it is time to leave ...and soon!!!! We will miss our nurses for sure! We will be back again relatively soon though.
JR and I have a meeting ,about Lindsay and getting her on the transplant list, tomorrow with a few people from the transplant team and one or two of the cardiologists. So, big day I think. Lindsay is also getting her ART line out tomorrow as well. (the other line in her groin)So, off to bed I go but I hope these pictures make everyone sleep well tonight.
Heart Blessings from Ann Arbor!
Love, Suzie
PS Elaine.....Jr was reading your post from earlier today and he said that you should wear big pink bows on your head instead of ribbons! ha ha Seriously, you all are so incredibly giving, it is unbelievable. We are so blessed with awesome family and friends. We are very humbled as to what everyone is doing for us. From the bottom of our hearts, and Lindsay's half of one, we love each and every one of you

How wonderful to turn on my computer this morning and see Lindsay smiling at me! What a great start to the day. Praying that your meeting goes well today. And a note for JR - I'm all about a big pink bow on my head on Friday. If we can find them, we'll be wearing them! And, like Maggie said, you'll have picture proof! :-) Have a great day you three.

We got back from NC this morning at 6:50 am yes we traveled all night. Papa's idea, it kinda sucked. I was so glad to see the pictures and the smiles. How wonderful for all of us and especially you guys. Every night we were in NC the girls said their prays and included Lindsay. They are all so sweet, including Owen. They took my ribbons so I will need some more. To Aunt Retta,
