I couldn't sleep more after getting a two hour nap, so I called to check in on Lindsay. Nurse Tammi said that she is doing just great! She is still getting blood products to try and boost her crit levels. (currently at 32 and they would like them around 40 at the least) Otherwise, at 11pm, they will be adjusting the vent once more and we are slowly weaning her. Apparently the princess has other ideas because she really seems to want to walk right out of there. Tammi said that she woke up again and showed her her new trick from the last few weeks......shaking her head "no". You just have to laugh because even though you can't see it on her face yet, I just know that she is smiling when she is doing it. Little stinker! Needless to say, she got more drugs!! We are so thankful that she is feisty!!! Oh, and almost forgot, the drainage from her chest tubes has decreased from almost 30cc's per/hour per tube (and she has three of them) down to only about 10 cc's per hour per tube! Good girl Lindsay! Ok, back to trying to fall asleep for the night.
Love to you all!

I'm a stranger to you, but I sure am
glad that you are leaving your updates! I am so happy for you guys! Lindsay is your princess and the cutest one at that! I have three boys (11, 8 and 5) and my only girl is two. There is something just precious about a princess!
Princess Lindsay is in my thoughts and prayers! She is such a strong little girl. Thanks for sharing her with all of us!
God Bless and keep those updates coming! God is sooooo Good!

I too do not know Lindsay but am praying for her! She is so lucky to have such a wonderful family and how lucky for you to have Lindsay! Keep fighting girl!
Love from Va
Lindsay, Suzie and JR
I'm so happy for you all, and of course Cole and Cruz also. What a huge hurdle, knowing what someone else has given is overwhelming! I can only tell you we wish you all a much better second year than the first one has been.
We love you guys.

Yeah! I'm so happy to hear that Lindsay is doing good! Love the pink hands and feet! Maybe Colin will have those after his fenestration closure, but until then, I enjoy seeing them on princess Lindsay! :) Praying for you to get some good rest and of course for Lindsay.

So relieved to hear that she's doing well....that's our girl showing her little attitude...so sweet! You all have been on my mind all day long.
Praying for Lindsay tonight...that she has a restful night of recovery and you and JR can get some sleep :)
Hugs!
Well, nice to hear from ya, Suz...we can't sleep either!! So...checking the blog one more time...and I know I am one of a cast of thousands!! I can just see her shaking her head "no"...how adorable is that? You know, once you create a princess, you are stuck with her...so when she hits 16 and stays out late with Daddy's car, remember we all did this with our adoration of the princess!! :)
I hope you really get some sleep tonight, because I am sure your body needs it by now. Have a wonderful day with Lindsay tomorrow and give our love to Linda and whoever else is there by now. Speaking of Linda...does the Grandma get to see Lindsay at least?...or does everyone have to stay away for 3 mos...man, being a grandma, all I can say is that would SUCK!!!
Sweet dreams, Love, Elaine

Yay Lindsay We're all praying for you!! What precious little girl you have! Been following your blog for awhile now and was so happy when I read she was going to receive her new heart :) I'm so so so happy for you all! Praying everyday for you!
Lisa and boys!
I just saw that she got her heart, yeah, I need to get that blankie out to her quick since she is doing so well she may be better before it gets there.
Had to check once more before I really try to sleep... so glad I did! So glad to hear that she is continuing her recovery so well! Hope to see a pink princess with no vent very soon (but not too soon!)! Get some rest - you deserve it!
I am so happy!! so so happy! I love that she is feisty and ready to walk on out of the ICU.
Good girl Lindsay...keep fighting!
Being feisty is one of the things we love about Lindsay! You'll be walking out of there soon enough missy! :-) Praying for an uneventful day for everyone. Thanks so much for the updates. Looking forward to the time when we can celebrate her coming home!
I do not know you, but my thoughts and prays are with you and Lindsay. I am in awe how you can keep everyone updated and lift us up through your blog during such a scary time for you. God be with you and can't wait to see pictures of your princess at home.
