The Color Purple
We got to go up to see Gianna recovering in the NICU. The nurses had her all fixed up with her pink blanket, stuffed bunny and pink bow stuck to her head. :-) She's still got her IVs in and she's still intubated, which is hard to see, but she's slowly weaning off of the respirator - this will be her next big "accomplishment" after surgery. We're all anxiously watching the monitor waiting for her to take over breathing herself. The green lines indicate the respirator is breathing for her, and purple lines mean she's breathing on her own. I've never been particularly a fan of the color purple, but today we feel like cheering every time we see those purple lines! Can't wait to get to hold her again. Gianna is truly amazing to me with how much she's been through in just 5 days of life and how incredibly Strong she is.

ReplyDeleteHi Matt and Amy! I checked out your blog this morning to learn of all that is going on. I help at the church on Monday morning and took a picture of your beautiful Gianna for all to see and to ask for their prayers. Our priest lit a candle for her and said that he will be praying for her during Mass. He wanted me to let you know. She is BEAUTIFUL!! I'll continue to check your blog. Thanks! Love you guys, Jennifer (The Banda 5)
