Not as Crappy :)

Today we had another good day. The doctors did an echo this morning and actually saw an improvement in her function. Although a small improvement and we still have a sick heart, she actually made a step forward in this battle and for that I thank each and every one of you.

When Dr. Kanter came in today he told me about the improved function. He said, well although still crappy, we aren't as crappy as we were :). Love him for that honesty and I will take it all day long!


It was a good day.. again a quiet day. It is funny how the little things start to matter so much to you. Our nurse today, MaryBeth asked if I wanted to change Mallory's diaper. Something so simple made me so terrified. She then had me help her move Mallory further up her bed and for a split second it felt like I held her. Again, the little things made me feel like a mom again.

As I was leaving to go home, Dr. Mayle, the director of the Heart transplant program, came in to talk about the good news with the echo. He talked about the question I kept having in the back of my head... If we were improving, even slightly, what happens if we got the call that a heart was available. For the first time, he actually told me that today, we would pass on a new heart! I wanted to dance around the room. Although this could change tomorrow, today we didn't need the transplant. It was my best day thus far.

Tonight I went home. We had a great day today and tomorrow is a new day. We have made a little step forward :)

Keep the prayers coming because Mallory is our little miracle and I owe that to every person out there thinking and praying for our little girl!
