Day +8

Wow... The outpouring of love and support that I have heard about and caught glimpses of are absolutely amazing!!!  Addie has the best team in town... Loved by so many!!  Lord hear our prayers!!! 
Today was a good day...  Addie is responding very positively so far to the treatment!! There are still too many variables to give any insight on what is to come but what I know is that she is here with us!!!  The future remains unclear and she has a long road ahead but I am praying that we are climbing that hill and won't ever be going back!!!  
Addie's heart function more than doubled today and her body has been happily letting go of the fluid!!  The doctors were surprised and extremely happy with the outcome so far!  However, because the cause is still unknown it is very unclear what the endpoint will be!!  In spite of all of the unknowns, I find myself at peace.  Today we were able to be a family and spend time with a dear friend.  I did not allow the fear in what lies ahead to ruin a perfectly good day... A day that I was able to spend with my beautiful girls, all THREE of them!!  We have to celebrate and give thanks for each victory and yesterday was huge and today was right behind that, a win for Team Addie!! 
Thank you Jesus for continuing to walk this road with us!!  Please Lord fill Addie with your grace and your love.  Let her know your presence more than ever and let her feel the love that we all have for her.  Please make it known that she is not alone in this fight!  We are here for her every step of the way!!   
I can't wait to see her... See that smile, hear that sweet voice!!  I would even take a huge tantrum right now, anything!!  Please Lord let this time pass quickly, let it merely be a bump in the road, an event that proves the strength Addie has and the power You have to heal!! 
Thank you everyone!! Thank you to the doctors and nurses again for providing such wonderful care to my baby... Lord be with our medical team, give them wisdom to know how to make my sweetheart well once again!  

Go Team Addie!!
