January 20, 2013 - Gettin' All Purdy!

We had a large family visit with mom today...3 of us girls, 7 grand kids, 1 son-in-law, & dad!! When we got there mom was enjoying this beautiful weather outside! The 5 big grand kids played hide and seek and mom held Joshua for the first time. That's a big deal as he weighs 16 pounds!

We took lots of pictures! One of the best was when all the grand kids (2 missing) piled on the bed with Nana!

Cristi, Kim, & I (with Hailey, Ben, & Joshua) stayed for a longer visit. Kim & Cristi got mom all purdy while I sat and held Joshua the whole time. They shaved her legs and cut & painted her toe nails!

She's doing amazing! Taking one day at a time is the focus!!

I am posting another picture of her hand...mainly to show how much her swelling has gone down!

Enjoy the few pictures I'm allowed to share!

Until later...

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...
