Yeah, what GB said! I'm so happy for you all.

Glad to hear it went well and sending wishes for everyone's speedy recovery.

Wonderful news. Looking forward to continued positive updates. Keeping both in my thougths and prayers.

Becca was discharged this afternoon and is now at Children's with Natalie. She's doing well, but is very sore. Natalie had her follow up surgery this morning and they were able to close her incision. They will try to wean her off the ventilator over the weekend and expect her to be moved out of ICU after she's off the vent if there aren't any complications.

Keep them in your prayers, but so far so good!

That is a great way to start the weekend, thanks for the news. I will keep praying for recovery for both.

Great news! Continued prayers for both!

Wonderful-I am so happy to hear the news! Thanks for the update, PL!

Glad I checked here one more time before heading out on vacation. Thanks for the update. Continued prayers from someplace much warmer!

Good luck Natalie & Becca!! Keep up the good work.

If I have to work on a Saturday, at least I can get good news like this!!!!

Praise God.

I received this information today:

Natalie went back to surgery this morning due to her hepatic artery being blocked. Her liver numbers began rising, causing the need to operate to find the source of the problem. The doctors feel that the artery became blocked due to pressure from her being closed up yesterday. There is now flow through the hepatic artery, but the surgeon had to leave her "open" meaning not even her skin is stitched together. Her incision is covered with gauze. She will be left this way for 2-3 days. Natalie has been relisted for a transplant, but not as Status 1 (the highest lising status possible). There is no plan right now to re-transplant her, but because of the blockage, there has been some damage to the liver. How much, they don't know yet.

Please keep them all in your prayers - I will continue to update this thread as I receive any information.

So sorry to hear about this set back. Bear is in my thoughts.

As of last night Natalie was "holding her own."

Please keep them all in your prayers. Becca & Jason are on a tremendous rollercoaster.

Heavenly Father, please comfort Becca & Jason and their families during this time of uncertainly. Let them feel your love and presence when they begin to feel overwhelmed. Strengthen Becca as she recovers from her surgery. Please guide the doctors as they care for Natalie and help them quickly determine what course of action is needed for her to fully recover. Please protect little Natalie and put your healing hands upon her. Finally, we pray for Jason ~ please give him the strength he needs. This has been such an emotional time for him as well. He is the rock - be there to hold him when he leans on you.

Lord, we lift them up to you. We are praying for them when they are not able to pray themselves.

We pray in Your name,
Amen

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Amen.

Natalie had an ultrasound today that showed positive results, there is blood flow (good flow actually) in the hepatic artery. She is still heavily sedated, since she is still "open." Please keep praying.

I have the information where they are staying or it was posted on Natalie's website today.

Praying and praying and praying and praying and praying

Prayers continue.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

Continued prayers!

Continued prayers here too!

Same here, praying continues.

I hope it all gets better for them, really quick!! What a terrible ordeal for all of them.

Prayers coming your way, now and forever.

Ditto.

I will keep them both in my prayers. This family has been through so much. I can't even imagine.
