My cup runneth over, I am so full of emotions tonight. Abby has had a better day today. She had to have more tests and doctors are still trying to decide what to do with her ventilator. They keep changing their minds which is frustrating. But we feel that we want Abby to be 100% ready to come off of her ventilator. We don't want to have to reintibate that would not be good at all. So we are okay with her resting and getting strong for a little bit longer. And I stressthe words little bit, we are ready for her to make some big steps forward but only when she is ready. She still isn't as responsive as we would like her to be, but she is waking up a little bit more. I am actually at Abby's bedside right now she is a little confused when she opens her eyes and she looks so tired. But she has been fighting hard no wonder she is tired. We still need that dang kidney to kick in. We really feel that would solve a lot of Abbys problems. The stuff in her body that the kidney would normally get rid of is putting her in a fog. And it is making her not feel good so she just wants to sleep.
Abby is making progress, but it is slow. All we care about is the result as long as she gets better we will wait for her. Through this long journey one thing has stayed constant and that has been the love and support of everyone who knows or who has ever met Abby or anyone in our family. I am just amazed at how many people who have reached out to us. Of course our extended family has been wonderful. They have supported us through all of this. But so many people even unexpected people are reaching out and praying for Abby and for that we feel blessed. My mom said yesterday that her faith has been restored in humanity. I can't go 20 minutes without someone asking about how Abby is doing or telling me that they are praying for her. Even at work people who know have just been so loving and concerned for our family. The other day I ate lunch with my mom at the hospital and for those who don't know my mom works at the same hospital. So we ran into a lot of her coworkers and the firts thing they all said is do you need any of my sick hours. They were so willing to give my mom their hours so she could be with Abby. So many great people in this world and they are all pulling for Abby. We do feel so blessed to have the family, friends and ward members in our lives.
Please keep the prayers coming for Abby she still has a long road ahead of her. She really needs to be more alert and follow commands better. And of course we need her kidney to do it's job and get rid of all of the toxins. We have been told by many that they will be fasting for Abby on Sunday. We really appreciate that and are so happy to have so many wonderful people in our lives.
Be strong Abby, and breath deep we are all praying for you and we love you so much!
