5 minutes

Jesus has given us hope for today !  Teresa was taken off the paralytic and morphine  and woken up for 5 minutes. She squeezed my hand, wiggled her toes and tried so hard to breath and open her eyes!
This is fantastic news !  

I told her she was the boss and she had to boss her heart now to beat and she squeezed my hand again . 

She loves  being the boss! 

Tonight eddy is bringing up grace , Mary and Lucy to see her .

So grateful for something as simple as holding her hand and watching her wiggle her toes! 

Tomorrow she will slowly be weaned down on ecmo and given an ultra sound to look at the function on the left and right sides of her heart !  This will be day three on ecmo , her Easter Sunday after 
 going through Good Friday on Monday .

    I want to send u these lyrics for I feel they represent all of those recipients and those waiting. Lots of love

    David Cook "Time of MY LIFE"

    I’ve been waiting for my dreams
    To turn into something I could believe in
    And looking for that magic rainbow
    On the horizon, I couldn’t see it

    Until I let go, gave in to love
    Watched all the bitterness burn
    Now I'm coming alive, body and soul
    Feeling my world start to turn

    And I'll taste every moment and live it out loud
    I know this is the time, this is the time to be
    More than a name or a face in the crowd
    I know this is the time, this is the time of my life
    The time of my life

    Holding on to things that vanished
    Into the air, left me in pieces
    But now I'm rising from the ashes
    Finding my wings and all that I needed

    Was there all along, within my reach
    AS CLOSE AS THE BEAT OF MY HEART!
