on her own, all day!

her nurse told me she's been

on the 'trach mask' all day

from 8am to 5pm

-breathing on her own -with her new lungs

all day

this is good and lots of work

so, at the same time they gave her dialysis

and sucked out a liter of fluid from her blood

that combo is a full days work

she said they've just settled her down for the evening

and hopefully (as we always are) she'll get some rest


what a hard working fighter

she's trying so hard

and working so hard

and now god's taking it a little easier on her


for her, the battle continues!

the fight is on!


for the rest of us the fight is on -our knees

(keep saying your prayers, please!)
