The last two days have been boring and yet busy. Rachel has been sitting up two times a day for an hour at a time to build her strength up. She has been doing sprints on the ventilator (that is where she is doing most of the breathing work on her own.). She has been doing her IMT (breathing exercises to get her lungs stronger). So as you can see while we are waiting we are working on making her good and strong in hopes it will help in her recovery.
Also Dr. Wallis on the transplant team says they are getting heart calls for her just the hearts have not been what they feel will be the best match for her. They are doing everything they can to keep her as a 1A status. So please be in prayer with us that she can remain a 1a status, we get the call with the best heart to match her, and that while we wait we continue to be boring.
I do have to say God has blessed us with a great son. he may not be able to sit up in the hospital room very long but he has not complained once and he calls through out the day to check on her. He is becoming such a thoughtful,caring and loving young man.

Ol' Stinky Feet is a pretty good son and brother.
You are all awesome to each other. This is such a stressful time yet you continue to be so thoughtful of each other. I am actually with my sister in the hospital in Tallahassee now, she has been admitted with pneumonia but has no pneumonia symptoms - might be a pulmonary embolism still waiting on tests. Anyway, we will continue to pray for no boat rides and boring times for Rachel. You all remain in our thoughts and prayers.
I continue to Pray everyday for Rachel to get her new heart! What a great brother he is so caring!! God Bless all of you! Keep smiling that beautiful smile girl!!
