roller coaster

people have been telling me about this

that her recovery will, without a doubt be a ride


tonight she's not so good

she's alert, but she looks so pale and frail


she's been complaining about chest pain all afternoon

they give her an EKG that came out OK

she's been off and BACK ON her breathing machine all day


the breathing doctors have been giving her 'trials'

and they said she's done fine

she looked like she was struggling to make her new lungs work


they gave her some pain medication and her mom's with her

soothing her and helping her get some sleep

she's on lots o' drugs, i don't know all the names (i'm drug free)

so she should rest good tonight, then back at it tomorrow


they'll be ups and downs but for what she's been through...

she just lays there and gives the thumbs-up

the doctor said she's been doing that all day

i told him she was a pilot

good day. sunshine.

as i walked in for this morning's visit

all the nurses said she's much 'brighter' today

smarter?

she was a lot brighter

it's a bright and beautiful day here in the pitt

and she's looking good



another day, another machine!!!


they've taken her off her breathing machine!

she's breathing on her own!!

her new lungs are working!!


they are just giving her some oxygen, but she's doing the rest


speaking of rest, she wanted some

she was feeling good enough to tell me to go

i told her that i love her, she mouthed back i love you too dad

without the big tube in her mouth! prasie god!!!
