They stopped her pain medicine today. She is not in pain, but if she starts to show discomfort they will give her something. The goal is to try and make her more alert today and to get the swelling to go down some. She did squeeze my finger a mintue ago and is starting to think about opening her eyes some. I do not think they will remove the breathing tube today, but hopefully tomorrow. She likes to suck on the breathing tube like it is her pacifier...pretty cute under the circumstances.
Natalie's neighbor in the ICU is a 12 year old girl who had a heart transplant last night. The little girl had been waiting a while. Children's Medical Center currently has 18 on their heart transplant list; this is the most they have ever had. I just wanted to ask for everyone to say a little pray for this girl; that she remains stable and is able to have a long and healthy life with her new heart. I would also like to ask you to pray for the family who donated the heart. What a hard decision to make in a time of grief.
Carter is in Texarkana with Larry's parents. Larry's mom got him in Mother's Day Out at their church. He loved it! He is having a wonderful time with his Gran and Papa.
