I think of my little family, and I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for those whom God has given me to love. I do so love my family!

When it’s almost time to go home, but you can’

When it’s almost time to go home, but you can’t remember where you are or hold your head up, you get a visit from the neurology team... and when you can’t pass the neuro evaluation, you get admitted instead of heading home...
We are here through the night for observation, and Paisley will have evaluations every two hours. She is already doing better with most functions, but she still has no short term memory, and I have been asked approximately 4,234 times “where am I?”
Never a dull moment with this girl!
Paisley’s cath went smoothly, though we are disappointed that there was nothing able to be done to help her symptoms. We will find out biopsy results tomorrow, and she will be scheduled for a sedated MRV soon. For now, we are settled into HKU, and our girl just told a doctor that she appreciates how everyone treats her like a queen here. 👑

Paisley went back a bit ago... her procedure will take a few hours.
Thank you for praying and holding out hope for our girl! ❤️

Today was her pre-op covid test, and blood work... her heart cath is on Friday!
I’d be lying if I said we weren’t nervous about this cath. While these procedures are considered routine, Paisley normally has them once a year now on her transplant anniversary... to need one now, four months after her last cath is concerning and nerve wracking.
But here we go, in two short days, with hearts full of hope. Always full of hope. 💗

Her chest, torso and back are covered in scars, each with a story, each one a beautiful brave sign of hope. I hope she is always as proud of those scars and what they mean as I am. She is such a warrior...❤️ #paisleyhasanewheart #chdawareness #hearttransplant #heartmonth #chdwarrior #scarsarebeautifulproject #bravegirl #paperheartproject #clickinmoms #momswithcameras

In honor of the Mars landing today, we had Mars donuts for breakfast (thanks #krispykreme!), we crafted planets, and we watched the landing on tv...
And Paisley made me go through her summer clothes and find her #nasa shirt so she could match 💙
