Mom update (Saturday morning): The strand of pneumonia is the standard kind - nothing funny - so they will begin attacking it head on today. She's still pretty sedated so that she can be comfortable while the tube is still in. They are going to ween her off today so they are able to communicate with her better. She was on 80% oxygen yesterday and they have her down to 40% today so that's good prog...ress. Thanks to everyone for the continued prayers. It's still a long road ahead. Please say additional prayers for dad - he's seemed to come down with a cold of some sorts so that makes it harder to be there for mom. Hopefully she can be awake a little later today...I love you mom!! Be strong and fight hard! We love you!!

Thanks to my sisters...I was able to FaceTime with mom! Even though she was sleeping, Dana, the girls and I were able to talk to her. I know she heard us! We love you mama!!

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...
