Just a Quick Note

I just wanted to let you all know we are doing wonderful!  Life outside the walls of the hospital have been great.  Ry's cath this week revealed some undesirable high wedge pressures.  This led us to a short stay in ICU while we got an echo, EKG, and chest Xray, but because all of these showed little to no change from her last, we were free to go after 5 hours.  It was just enough time for some of our favorite nurses to come by the room and say hi, but I was so relieved that we were able to go home.  We anxiously waited for biopsy results the next day.  This was the last piece of the puzzle and would tell us if the numbers were indicative of a rejection bout.  We were thrilled to find out yesterday that the biopsy came back ZERO.  Thank goodness.
So we're here at our "holiday house" enjoying lots of play time and resting.  I will post again soon with lots of pictures.  I have so many to share.
Thanks for all the prayers and I'm sorry for the delay in posting.  Once we get into a routine, I hope I find some time each day to get on the computer.  I miss sharing our fun times with you all.

Wonderful news! So happy to hear continued good reports on her biopsies! Yay for ZERO score!

Will pray for those undesireable high wedge pressures to become desirable. :) maybe all of this is just part of her body adjusting to having a new heart and just a little phase that she is going through.

so happy to hear about lots of playing, good times and REST! Great, great news! I saw a little pic of Ry visiting with her friends Keegan and just LOVE those long lashes of hers.....I bet one "bat" of those and Gilly and you just melt. :))))) Such a little princess!

I like your nickname for your temporary living situation - the "holiday house" that's very cool! what child wouldn't want to stay there! sounds like it will be full of lots of fun! I hope you three have a super blessed holiday - what precious moments these are.

Hope you have a blessed week and a super HAPPY Thanksgiving! :)
