a hard, hard time for us

Love this new little grandbaby Dahlia with all our hearts. She's been in the ICU at Herman Children's Hospital  the past 11 days. If her parents hadn't rushed her promptly to the emergency room, she would have died. She has been diagnosed with a very rare heart defect, left ventricular compaction, where the left ventrical isn't able to pump as it should. She's been off the venilator these past 48 hours, and her parents have been able to hold her for the first time today. But it'll be a really rough ride, with plenty of potential set-backs, and could need a heart transplant.  So thankful for all the prayers on her behalf. We are really leaning on our Father in Heaven and our Savior during this difficult time, and placing our trust in Him. He has a plan for her precious life. We know He can work miracles for her.  We are so grateful for this very special spirit who has been sent to bless our family. She has already taught all of us so much. 

2 days ago, when sweet Dahlia came off  the respirator. She was so alert and just didn't want to go to sleep.
