Proof that miracles happen

Tomorrow

I almost hate to say, because I don't want to jink us, but we are suppose to go home tomorrow. She got her staples out of her neck and is getting her central line out this afternoon. She is alert and playful. She smiles all of the time. Cardiology came to see her and said she looks better than they have ever seen her. The flow across the homograft valve (the new piece they put in) is great. She has very minimal leakage. Everything seem to be doing what it is suppose to. Her cardiologist said he would like for us to work on getting her off the vent over the summer. Then once she is off the vent, they will try taking her off the Viagra. She seems to be stronger than I have seen her since getting her trach. She has never really been able to make noise over her trach before. She could if her trach ties were loose and she wasn't getting good volumes. But now, she is making all kinds of noises around her trach even with the trach ties tight. So that is a good sign that she has more strength. I can't even begin to describe how much she has improved over the weekend or for that matter how much better she is now. I can't remember her looking so healthy. The Lord is good. He has answered our prayers again and again. Isabella has probably needed repaired for some time now but was unable to go through surgery until now. God has is perfect timing in everything. Janie our chaplain has shared this with us and I would like to share it with you. So I leave you with this
IN HIS TIME
In his time, In his time;
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord, please show me every day
As Your're teaching me your way,
That You do just what You say
In Your time.
In Your time, in Your time;
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring;
May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing
In Your time.
Diane Ball

Megan, this new info all sounds great! We're so thankful to the Lord that Isabella is doing so remarkably better!

The pictures of the girls are so precious. And I think Isabella enjoys feeling her teeth with her tongue. Her world has so many new things in it that she is enjoying.

I love the song/poem Janie gave you, "In His Time". We have a cassette tape of Andrea singing that song when she was in 6th grade. (It's an OLD cassette!) He makes all things beautiful, in His time........It's God's way!

Looking forward to seeing you at home!

Love, Aunt Judy

Although I'm glad to hear you are going home, I'm a little sad I don't get another night with her, since with our last one I didn't get to spend much time with her or with you guys. Sorry I didn't make it in to see you, my family came down on Sunday for the day. You will just have to let me know when your next visit will be, so we can be sure to meet up. She looks fantastic! I'll miss you guys, but take care and keep in touch. Love you all.

Today is the day!!! Don't you just hate waiting to be discharged. It feels like it takes FOREVER. At least you know by the end of the day you will be home.

Thank you guys so much for taking me out last night. It was nice to get away from the hospital and to hang out with you guys. To bad we do live closer to each other or we could do it more often. Have a safe trip home and stay away from the hospital for awhile!!!!

Love, Amy
