Proud mama

8:10pm
Abi did great. I am so proud of her, she's indeed a fighter.
It's been a very long and tough day, mostly for Abi - I wish I didn't remember this as well, but I will and will remind myself and Abi in the future how amazing and faithful God is. He was there with her and the doctors all the time and will be in the CICU with her.
We were able to see her about 1 h ago.



She is doing well, a little swollen from the transfusion but that's normal.
The next 24-48h will be the most critical. If everything goes well she will have the chest closed on Friday.
Praying for uneventful and restful night for Abi.

  3. I'm praying for your sweet daughter. Try to get some sleep tonight if at all possible because you will need your strength in the coming days, especially after Abi is moved out of CICU.

  4. I'm so grateful for this news. Sounds like she did so beautifully...we continue to pray for you. The photo reminds me so of Eve, almost exactly 8 months ago. Wait until you get that first smile back. The peace of the world comes over you! Best,

  6. Just checking in this morning (actually like four times already) to see how Abi's night went and let you know I'm still praying. Hoping you all got some rest last night.
