A LITTLE RAIN ON OUR PARADE!

Do you think we could get a little mental break from everything? Let me start off by saying that Kaidence looks the best she has looked in a long time. Her labs and everything else is perfect. She is starting to breath above the ventilator so hopefully they will start weeing from that soon and then I can hold her. Kaidence is the perfect patient.

The cardiologist came in today and has already started about when to take a heart offer. I am in no way ready at this point and think it is crazy to not give her a fair chance a getting better. In her defense she is worried that Kaidence will lose all of the time she has already accrued while waiting for a heart to this point. She sent a biopsy a Kaidence heart to a specialist and they are not sure that it was caused by a virus any longer. They will do some other mitochondrial test on it and we should know after we wait another long, long, long, weekend. If she does have a disorder it could cause even a new heart to get sick again. I don't think that they will find anything. She has already had so many different test testing for genetic and some mitochondrial disorders and they have all been negative.
Mike and I have a lot of decisions to make and we will revisit the issue with the cardiologist on Monday. We pray that we as well as the doctors will continue to know what is best for Kaidence. We pray that we will have peace and be guided with what the Lord wants for Kaidence. It sounds that they are not really wanting to wait for a recovery and that is very, very frustrating.
