Annie’s heart echo yesterday showed that her heart function has not improved at all even though she’s been on medication for almost a week. Her IV medicine was stopped Tuesday overnight and switched to oral medication. Today, her IV was placed back in for her to receive the IV medication.
Words/phrases I don’t like, all heard from Annie’s medical team within the last 24 hours:
congenital heart disease
single-ventricle baby
IV
open heart surgery
critically ill
hospital stay
low heart function
heart failure
we don’t know why
we can’t tell you what to expect
the textbook says so, but I can’t say we always see good results
IV again
we will keep trying
wait longer
keep waiting
wait some more
heart cath
transplant
we will know in a week if her heart can handle the next surgery or if we need to “list” her
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” -Revelation 21:4
Oh, heaven, come quickly.
heart for annie 
Tracey and Matt, I’m so sorry that little Annie is having these problems. I am praying for a complete recovery and peace for all of you. I saw Audrey for a minute Sunday, she didn’t want to stay. We tried, but your Mom just wanted to keep her with her. I am praying for sweet Audrey too.
