Mom update (Sunday morning): no real change...she's still not able to breathe on her own so they are having to leave in the tube and on the sedation medication. We don't really know whether or not she can really hear us when we talk to her but I know The Lord is in her heart and He hears us and is relaying the messages. Continued prayers are welcomed for her body to keep fighting hard.

Mom update (Sunday afternoon): I just talked to Cristi...they are at the hospital and I was able to talk to mom again. This time her eyes were open as they are taking her off the sedative - not sure for how long though. She is currently breathing on her own!! Your prayers are helping - we are all so grateful! Now if she could just continue on this same path!! Keep praying!!

Karee's Post on Facebook today:
Went and spent some time with Mom today, I love just sitting there with her. Brooklyn made her a video that I played for her, it was such a sweet video (mom reacted to the video too). Thank you to everyone that has been and continues to pray for her, she needs all the prayers she can get. Please also pray for my Dad, he is one Strong Man and Loves my Mom so much!!

Strength… #forthewrightreasons

August 21, 2019…it was just another time of crazy happening…this time to fix the 99% blockage in your heart. I was scared.  The odds were stacked against you. It was then that you held me in your arms, and comforted me instead of the other way around. You told me during that embrace that you weren’t scared of the outcome because either way you would be healed on earth or healed and in Heaven. My anxiety was so high and you held me as I cried…you did everything you could to reassure me that there was so much peace in your mind and heart and you showed me what true strength looked like.  We took this picture, because I was afraid it would be the last time I would get to see you. Through my tears you comforted me, as any mother would, but that day, you showed me what compassion felt like. You fought so hard those next few days - especially the next, when you coded from losing so much blood...you fought so hard the following 6 months for everything to be the best you could make it.  Little

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
