Sleeping Beauty

Piper's doing wonderfully. They plan to have her off the ventilator by noon tomorrow! Though she can't speak, or likely read, she's demanded her i-pad back! Though I'll continue to sneak it away to post little updates, they might be a bit further apart and considerably less dense. Will update again tomorrow!

Sleep tight everyone.

    My mom is beyond excited too! She was bawling like a baby today she was so happy! I hate saying this, but she might have been happier than me haha!!!

    Today starts the rest of your AMAZING life with donor lungs from someone who loved life enough to realize it is worth passing on the organs. God Bless them!

    Piper, being big Apple fans over here, my husband was overjoyed to hear that A) you have an ipad and B) it's the first thing you asked for.

    I'm checking for updates frequently because I want to hear all the good news as it happens. I'm so happy for you! You trained so hard for this. I have no doubt you'll be doing laps around the nurses station soon.

    HAAAWHOOO!!!!

    I'm so freakin' happy for you Piper. And the story of when the call came....classic and, in hindsight, should've been predicted.

    I'm praying for a speedy recovery.

    Piper,

    I am a Board member of the Colorado chapter of CF and have had the opportunity to meet your Dad.

    I have heard about all the incredible false starts and am SO happy and thrilled that you have gotten past that stage.

    My husband and I are thinking of you and your family. You deserve this new breath of life.

    It's a sure sign of positive stuff when you ask for your social networking devices. :-)

    Keep up the good work, Piper.

    Thank you to your family for keeping us in the loop.

    Peaceful and Green and Blue Things!

    Much love and much light. It is great to hear that you are doing so well and I *love* the fact that you are already asking for your iPad. I would probably do the same!
