let this be a reminder that if your not already an Organ Donor now is the time to consider doing so...its very easy to have it put on your license information. Its something we don't like to think about but something we all should think about...for Jada and others...

Agreed

Terri I am here for whatever you need friend. Continued prayers for Everyone.

Continued prayers for Jada. She has stayed strong and endured so much.

MandiesMom · 05-20-2013, 05:57 PM

Quick update before I literally crash on my couch for a few zzzz's..will be hitting the road back to Birmingham early in the morning.

Good news on the circulation at this moment (I've learned that things change minute to minute so this is THIS moment)...her foot is Pink!!!!

She has so many things still going on - the infection in her blood stream is the one we are most worried about - need to get that under control. If she is septic, transplant can't be done.

So, here are the specifics for prayer if you are keeping score

...

1. Get the infection under control
2. Keep that circulation going in that left leg
3. Lungs, lungs, lungs, lungs.

Thank you all so very very much! You don't realize how much I feel your prayers...and see them. Hugs!! Love you all!

Praying for killing infection, continued circulation and that call to come to the hospital that lungs are available that will work for Jada as soon as she's eligible again. Amazing that that foot is pink! They must have resolved some or a good deal of that circulation problem. Maybe it was just a temporary arterial or vascular spasm or collapse and now it's resolved. Praying for miracles every time I see my little reminder!

Good thoughts and blessings for Jada and family. Always in my thoughts

yorkietalkjilly · 05-20-2013, 07:51 PM

Praying for Jada tonight. Hold on, pretty girl.

I've been so busy lately Teri and I missed your original post. I am so sorry that your niece was not doing well but glad to hear that the procedure is working for her. Its great news that she is doing well and the she is in capable hands. I cant imagine what you and your family have been going through and I pray the Jada will continue to do better. {{Hugs}} take care.

Patti · 05-20-2013, 08:23 PM

Praying for a miracle.

Up for a second to post the latest news. As I said, it changes minute by minute. I'm not joking. I can post this and it scares me because the next post can be totally opposite. But here goes...From my sister -

" Here we go: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (a.k.a. ECMO) uses a machine to do the job of the lungs. Large tubes are placed in an artery and a vein. Blood leaves the body, is run through a machine that puts in oxygen, takes out carbon dioxide, and also regulates the body temperature. Referred to as "The Bridge to Transplant", ECMO is sometimes used when a patient is waiting for new lungs but just has nothing left to give from the old ones. It is kind of a "last resort" and is quite risky.

Jada started ECMO early this morning, around 3am. It seems to be doing its job right now. We had a long, exhausting day with tears, family,prayers, laughter, and, best of all, ANSWERED prayer. God showed off today. He is merciful and full of grace.

Jada is still VERY sick...critical, in fact...don't dismis that, but today I saw a teeny touch of forward progress, and on that I will rest.

~~even if..."the piggie goes to market"...I will trust him"

She said that about the piggies because she COULD lose them if that circulation doesn't continue. Please continue to pray it does.

One other thing - several of my sister and Jada's friends from CF and hospital, visited tonight. Jada smiled and squeezed some hands and mouthed "I love you"....she's done this before and then crashed the next day. Praying this is going to STAY moving forward.

Bottom line...she's got to have lungs. No matter what, she can't be on the ECMO forever.
