Friday night Annie got to sleep around 3:30 am and slept until 8:00 am but it seems like we are starting to come out of the worst part. It's been an extremely rough road but yet better than what it could have been given all the potential scenarios. She actually had a good day and just seemed to smile all day long. I think she's beginning to believe that she's going to make it. I can't tell you how good it is to have her back. The drugs affected her mind in such a way that she went through an acute psychosis for a few days and was convinced she was either dying or someone was going to steal her liver. We couldn't convince her otherwise. She had a number of seizures one night and that really frightened us and the drs. We are hopeful that those were drug induced and not indicative of any brain pathology. She hasn't had one in over 24 hours. She had a partially collapsed lung and pulmonary edema and that was another scare. It really has only been today that we feel like we can begin to hope that she's going to be ok. Up until this time it's been very tense and unpredictable. Today she can't seem to hug us enough and she's been asking a million and one questions and she's been apologizing to the nurses for thinking they were the bad guys who were conspiring to steal her liver. It's just been so great to see.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not.
In all your ways be mindful of him, and He will make straight your paths."
-Proverbs 3:5-6
