Great conversation!!

I got to talk to mom tonight for about 15 minutes! I am still just SO thankful that I'm able to talk with her again like "normal"!

She continues to make progress! She's able to get in and out of bed with a little less help than before. She can get to and from the bathroom on her own as well.

She had a tough day of physical/occupational therapy on Friday. They pushed her harder than the days before...now walking the hallways with a walker instead of being in a wheelchair!

She doesn't like her new bed because the buttons to move it up & down are on the outside of the arms...so that stinks!

They finally have her glucose medication correct so that also making her feel better! Although tonight it was high due to her using lifesavers to calm a cough...

Dad is optimistic that she may be able to go home by next weekend if she keeps with it and working as hard as she did this past week! My opinion: I want her to stay (even though its somewhat miserable) until she's REALLY ready! Guess that just the mom in me...don't want to have to take any steps backwards since she's been progressing forward so well!

Funny story...dad text us girls last night! He got the first bill from Seton in the mail...told us how much it was! I about fell out of the chair I was sitting in!!! His response, "I need a drink!". Yes, dad...I do agree!!!

Please don't forget or hesitate to email me at familywarren5@gmail.com if you have any item or service you can donate for our silent auction/benefit. We have decided to come up with a goal of $30,000 to raise!! This will help put a dent in the medical bills for mom and dad!! Anything you can donate for our auction/benefit would be such a blessing!! Thank you!!!

Until later...

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
