Today was another quiet day. This morning we found out that they may push her surgery for the Berlin Heart to Tuesday. She is doing well on her new ECMO, her fingers are looking much better so they are thinking of giving her at least another day. There is another child in the ICU that has been needing surgery that they may do Monday instead of Mallory.
To me, it is another day that we can try and heal her heart before she has surgery and there is no going back.
We are still hopeful and praying daily that her heart improves and we do not need to go down the transplant path.
They will do another echo to test her function prior to her surgery and once we know more we will let everyone know.
Because everything has been quiet last night and today,we decided it was time to spend our first night at home since this all began. We picked up Madison and had a wonderful night with her. It was so nice to spend time with her... We didn't want to put her to bed!
The hospital gave us a baby doll for Madison that has an IV in her arm and a bag of other supplies so that we can show her everything that is helping to make her better. She has started to ask a lot more questions so we have decided to take her to see Mallory tomorrow. It is probably time for her to see her sister especially because we could be there for a while. Plus it is mother's day and I would love to be with both of my girls :)
Praying for your precious mallory and family. My heart breaks for her but I know God is watching over his sweet daughter. As a mom I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. Praying for the peace that surpasses all understanding for you and Dustin. I love all the verses you have surrounding her. Through Him all things are possible. Enjoy your sweet girls tomorrow. Prayers and love from Florida!

ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and your family on this special day. I can't think of any words that make a lick of difference but we are all rooting for Mallorys full recovery. Her story has reminded all of us how precious life is. Many prayers,

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you today. Hope you had some special moments with your girls today. Glad to hear they are postponing the procedure to Tuesday. As you said, give Mallory another day to heal on her own. Thanks for sharing the journey. It brings you closer to us. And please know that we are here for you. Take care. Wei
