This morning is a new day and both Shane and I got some rest overnight. I wanted to just take a moment to give some direct thank you's to the many friends and family members that have been supporting us through this extremely tough time. We are so grateful to each of you have given in his/her own special way.
We have many friends in Fayetteville that are faithfully taking care of some of the things we hold dear and I want to thank you for all the work you are doing. I know my daughter is happy, my dog gets a walk, and the flowers in my yard are watered. I think of you all every night and am eternally grateful for all you have given.
As for those of you who are here with us, we have no words to express the gifts you give. All of the support from Tradehome Shoes... thank you for allowing my husband to sit by my side with no questions asked. Everyone in Dr. Wendel's office, each of you precious ECMO technicians that keep our daughter as safe as possible, all the friends that have helped translate the medical portion of this journey, every single nurse and physician that has been a part of Avery's journey, our family members who have sacrificed their days to sit with us...and many many more who have sent prayers and thoughts our way. Please know that you help in more ways than you could ever imagine.
As for Avery, this morning she is still doing well. The team has made some adjustments to one of her IV's in hopes that it may decrease the occurance of her rapid heart rate. She still looks good and appears to be readjusting to her newly placed organs. We are getting close to the 24 hour mark of surgery so we will continue to wait and practice patience.
Again, please feel our appreciation and gratitude!
