Please say a prayer for my mom. She was taken to the hospital early this morning and the verdict is pneumonia. She's currently in the ICU, hopefully to be moved to a regular room by tomorrow as long as she responds well enough to the meds. She had an echocardiogram done on her heart and everything looks good there. The doctors did confirm though that she'll be there through the end of the year. Please pray for her comfort as she currently has an intubation tube in her throat, which she HATES! Thank goodness she knows a little sign language. In advance - thank you for the prayers and good thoughts! I know she'll appreciate them!!

Please also say a quick prayer for my dad. He seems to go into Superman mode during times like these and be a strong hero for all of us girls and forgets that he also needs to take care of himself. We love you daddy...just be there for mom...we'll take care of each other.

Mom update (Monday): the doctor's keep saying she's doing well. She is breathing on her own for a while then when it becomes too laboring they turn on the oxygen to assist her but its only around 20%. Then they turn it off again and keep going back and forth. The X-rays are not showing any difference on the pneumonia. They say that this is to be expected though with her body being immunosuppressed ... (from the heart transplant). The cardiologist continues to monitor her heart function and says it's doing great! They are trying to give her lasiks to increase her outflow (which is how to get the pneumonia out) but when they do her blood pressure goes too low so they back off. They are optimistic and say it will just take time. Their first goal is to get her stabilized enough to take out the tube. As a family, we appreciate the continued prayers and thoughts. It's been tough knowing that when she does "wake up" that it will be a new year...but as my dad so wond...
