Leaving ICU and O2 Behind

Patti is leaving ICU today and is off the oxygen completely. She and her new lungs are doing all the breathing on their own! Amen.

She had a swallowing test with a speach therapist and passed with flying colors. No surprise to us. Swallowing means you can eat FOOD, so we knew that test would be a no brainer.

The lung doctors say she is doing better and healing faster than most who have just hand a lung transplant. We aren't surprised by that either, she has such a determination to survive and help Brady grow up!

Thank you God for giving these doctors the ability to perform this operation on Patti, and thank you to the family of the donor. We pray for your family and praise you for your courage.
