Addi and Mr. G

Here are two more pictures that I meant to attach.

What a Reunion

Today our precious Addi went home to be with her Heavenly Father. I can only imagine the joy and love that she felt upon her arrival. I am so ecstatic that her big brother, Cade, was also there waiting! Darrell and I have been blessed with two beautiful and amazing children. I guess they were so great that God just couldn't wait to have them.

Thank you so much for ALL of your prayers, love, and support. We are absolutely heart broken right now. The Lord will carry us through.

Another Wonderful Day

Addi was a busy little girl today. After we got her hair washed she took a little nap. Then she woke up and the physical therapists came. She stood on her own for a few minutes, took two or three steps, and sat on her own. They were happy with her progress especially since she has been laying in her bed for an entire week.

She is finally sleeping and we're hoping she sleeps well tonight. She is so tired, and now that she is more alert, she's afraid that if she falls asleep we won't be there when she wakes up. Needless to say, she hasn't been doing much sleeping.

A friend wrote to me today that it was so wonderful to see me holding Addi in my arms, just like He has been holding her in His arms...especially this past week. I thought that was so perfectly said! With that, goodnight!

Terrific Thursday

Today our sweet girl is doing great! She ate a little yogurt and a few Cheerios. They wanted to make sure her mouth muscles were working like they should. Then we washed her hair. She slept in my lap for awhile. We needed her to sleep a little bit since she didn't sleep much yesterday or last night. Later the physical therapist will come by and work with her on sitting up and maybe walking. They need to get her up moving.

She looks great and are just so thankful to God that she is here and doing SO well!

One Happy Mommy

I got to hold Addi tonight! I have been waiting so long to wrap my arms around my precious girl and I finally got to. Our sweet nurse made it happen. The nurses here are truly amazing!

Addi had her pic line put in today. Tomorrow they are planning on getting Addi up and moving. We'll see how that goes. I'm excited to see her up. I'm also anxious about how she'll do. She's been through a lot and it may take awhile to get her back to "normal".

Thank you for your continued prayers! God continues to do amazing things through Addi. We're still praying for a heart...sooner than later. I also pray for the donor family who will be giving Addi their child's heart. This is heavy on my heart and I just pray they find a little comfort knowing that their precious child is living on through someone else.

Back on the List

Today has been going good. We were told this morning that Addi was put back on the transplant list as a 1B. She is now this status because she no longer has the breathing tube. She is definitely getting back to her normal self. She was excited to see us this morning, almost like she was trying to say, "Where have y'all been?". She also doesn't appreciate the nurses.

Today they are planning on taking out a line that is in her leg and putting a pic (spelling?) line in her arm. They are also thinking she may be able to start sitting up and walking! Busy day, but we're loving it!! We are LOVING watching the plans God has for her.

Tuesday Night

Today was a good day. Addi was awake off and on today. She will be getting more and more alert and active as time goes on. The nurse asked her today if she could cough for her and she told her no! She also drank some juice from a sippy cup and held it by herself. She is doing so well! The night nurse put a gown on her tonight and she looks so comfortable.

Thank you so much for all of the prayers. Please keep them coming!
