Lindsay's head CT came back looking about the same as Tuesday's. This is a good thing but they all have decided to do an MRI as well. So that might be either tomorrow or Saturday for that to try and get the best pictures possible. She has been weened from her Adivan, her morphine down to 20, milrinone is at .7 but will ween as soon as she gets her echo tomorrow,and her Epi is only at .01. Must be she still needs that little dose while she rests. Sprints might take place tomorrow, but we are not holding our breaths for that one. She will need time and frankly, it is just a complete miracle that she has come this far already after Monday's events. She has started to wake up a bit which is a HUGE milestone when referring to her brain function. She has moved her arms, legs, toes, fingers, and shoulders. She has blinked her eyes but has not opened them yet. They aren't too surprised with that because with her never have been on phenobarb before, this can make you very sleepy. We are breathing a little easier now but still have a ways to go and especially with her medication regimen.
We were able to get a nice break this evening and go out for dinner with Steve and Michelle Hagerott. We all needed a break and good conversation. It is Steve's birthday today and we were honored to have spent that with them. Thanks guys!
Continue to keep Lindsay in your prayers. Zachary is healing as expected and Tommy is back on the floor, but is still dealing with stomach issues. Please pray that this gets resolved very soon. We love you all!

Thanks for the post. Man my heart is just simply aching tonight for all of these sick babies. There are several blogs I am following and I feel I am invested in now. These sweet babies are just so precious and it is so very, very sad what they are going through but each and every one of them are fighters just like little Lindsay. My heart breaks because I wish I could do something for you guys, for Lindsay, for all the sick babies and their families. The best I can do is pray, pray, pray. I will do that each day and I hope with all of my heart that Lindsay continues to get better. Stay strong and just know you have many unknown friends out here.
Patience is such a virtue, and only learned through such trying times. Glad you got a break.
"Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly... you are doing the impossible."
This is the path Lindsay seems to take.
Following her path with patience and prayer........

Thank you Suzie for the update. I have been on so many times today and always afraid to look at the post. She is proving to all what a fighter she is, and how powerful praying is. I am so grateful that you have had some good news, and I hope that you and JR get some much needed rest. She is a lucky little girl and I cannot wait til she can meet Mamie as they are the same age and have the same chipmunk cheeks! What fun they will have. You are in my prayers constantly, hang in there. Chris Willson, alias Mimi!
Appreciate the update--I have had Lindsay on the brain for the past several days. Worried about her, yet I have seen first hand what she is made of! Still thinking and praying for all of you.
Take care--

The Princess is doing it on her time. We have faith that the Lord will bring her though this too.
Hang in there!
So glad that you guys were able to get some time for yourselves. You need that time to regroup and catch your breath! Sounds like the Little Miss is taking things on her own time, just as she should! We are continuing to pray for all of you!
All our love,

Slow and steady... that's good news! Glad you got to take a break for dinner with Steve & Michelle... I'm sure you ALL needed a break :) Continued prayers for another "slow and steady" day tomorrow!
Great news all around!!! I'd say let her rest up, she's been through ALOT in the last few weeks. I still can't wait to see that smiling face.
Andrea
Keep it up girlie!! We're praying for you!
Keep resting little one. We are all thinking about you and miss you guys.
Mark Randall & Family
I hope the Dr's are checking for blood clots, as it sounds as if this is the trouble after a heart transplant on a fragile child.
Prayers of healing
So relieved to hear the CT is good. I hope the MRI is good also!!
Holding steady is good. We all know that Lindsay likes to do things in her own time anyway! Keep resting and healing sweetheart, we'll keep praying.
Aimee & Family
I am happy that there are little steps towards recovery. What a horrible ordeal. We are thinking of you constantly and praying for good test results.
Love

Just a ray of hope, even if changes have occured due to her complications, young children often have amazing recovery due to having so much of the brain tissue being availble to take over needed function. She seems to have amazing strength and recuprative qualities as a rule from everything she has already experienced. Keep up the hope. Still praying for all the children and their families. Laura from St. Ambrose
Praying for good result from the MRI today. Praying that Lindsey will be showing you her beautiful eyes and smile very soon!!!!!
