My heart transplant buddy, Tommy. He is here for his Rituxin treatment.
Lindsay, Ethan, and Tommy. Ethan is here with complications due to PLE and his new G Tube. Get better soon Ethan!!!!
Lindsay being Lindsay.......so stinkin cute!!!!!!
Look Daddy! I like pretzels too! Well, sucking on them anyway. She licked all the salt off of it!
Too precious for words.Well, after spending the majority of her day puking, Lindsay has been quite the busy body. I was able to take her outside again today and needless to say, she enjoyed it thoroughly! I was able to capture some wonderful photos including her new header photo on the blog. We also had a photo shoot in her crib, but those pictures will have to wait. ;-)
Lindsay had all of her blood draws yesterday to check her antibodies and Lindsay is finally ready for another dose of Rituxin. This will happen tomorrow afternoon and the doctors have also decided to give her another round of IVIG again. The IVIG will be given on Thursday if everything goes well with the Rituxin tomorrow. The BIG news is though the Lindsay is still testing as ABO blood type which means that she can still accept a heart from ANY blood type. This is just HUGE because usually by now, infants have already started producing antibodies against the other blood types and she is not. As a matter of fact, Meg (the nurse transplant coordinator) said that instead of her numbers going up as expected, they are actually going down! What? you say. Yes, this is correct! I do believe that the man above is giving us a sign on this one! Thank you Jesus! (I do think that her angel friends in heaven have a part to play in it too!)
All in all, minus the puking, Lindsay looks wonderful and is just a joy to be around. I am a blessed mother with a wonderful daughter. I couldn't be more proud of her!
Until next time~
Love, Suzie

I just found your blog through "Rose Haven" and I watched the miraculous surgery that your daughter went through. The Lord has blessed you with a beautiful, precious girl. What a treasure. I will pray that she continues to heal. Use your testimony to encourage and strengthen others who will endure such trials. Our God is good! The Lord has given you a story to share. God bless you and your family-love from Germany!
Oh, Suzie...what beautiful pictures and wonderful news about Lindsay's antibodies! Lindsay's Prayer Warriors have been very busy and it feels great to hear good news. It is also nice to read all Lindsay's good news, after reading about the Freemans' loss and watching Sofi's video...the kleenex memo was much appreciated! :) Please know we are all praying for all the precious heart babies we know and love because of you. We will not give up!
Heart Hugs, Elaine

I have been thinking about Miss Lindsay a lot today... the wind is blowing - HARD :) So I'm delighted to see new pictures enjoying the grass and being outside... that top picture is precious! I'm also so glad to hear the news about her medical "numbers"... that jargon is so unfamiliar to me, but it sounds like great news :) Wire continue to hold Lindsay close in our hearts and pray that her "miracle day" will be here soon!
your daughter is gorgeous. i am in prayer for her always. your family is always close in my thoughts and prayers.
Well Miss Lindsay, the salt is my favorite part of a pretzel too! ;-) Love the pictures. She's adorable as always. How wonderful that she was able to get outside again. And, what a social butterfly she is! Too cute! Glad to see that her numbers are doing as they should. Still praying that her perfect heart comes soon!
