Changes

They took Gabi off of the ventilator this morning and she woke up some and was able to take sips of water and say a few words. As the day went on, she has gradually had a harder time breathing. It seemed that she might have some fluid in her lungs and so they did an x-ray. There is fluid (believed to be blood) filling up in her left lung. It is unsure whether this blood is from the biopsy or backing up from her heart. In any case, her oxygen levels have continued to drop as the day has gone on. If she doesn't start to breathe better on her own, then they will likely have to put the tube back down her throat and use the ventilator again. We are hopeful that it is just her body getting used to working with her new reconstructed heart and that she just needs some time to heal. We trust that God knows exactly the what, where, when and how of us being here. We take great comfort in knowing that His length and plan are perfect. Please pray with us, for Gabi, to take a turn for the better very soon. We will try to keep you updated. Thank you so much
