Great news! Getting better one day at a time.

Another great update. Thank you!

Really love getting these good news updates! Thank you..

Elissa is a fighter.
Good news re. the regular diet !!

Another great step forward. Let's hope the good news keeps coming and you get to see her soon.
Has Elissa told you she has a great dad today? Because she should. I'll bet she did.

From Facebook. Nothing but awesome here! :)

" We are the recipient of a wonderful gift and we are hoping the donor family who lost their 8 year old can find some healing with their life saving gift to Elissa."

I have no doubt that Elissa will go on to live a life that is more than worthy of such a gift.

She is no longer being tube feed and is on a regular diet. We were told her chest staples will remain in for 6 weeks. She walks several times daily and is showing good improvement in her general health and being listed as stable condition.
We really wish we could visit her but there is no hospital in America that allows visitors. Some say she is out of the woods but we know this still could turn south.
The transplant surgeon said even though the lungs are undersized for her they are maintaining her now and will only get better in the next few months to come.
As a parent this is a Bad Mo Fo for anyone to go through and watch your child have to live a life like this. We are the recipient of a wonderful gift and we are hoping the donor family who lost their 8 year old can find some healing with their life saving gift to Elissa.
When Sharon and I are out in public and see a small child we both wonder if they are an 8 year old....Kinda sad how our minds question every child we see.
Please become a donor if you haven't all ready done so.

Will she have to take special precautions for a period of time after she is discharged? Immunosuppressed etc? I am wondering how you will get her back home, if that is the plan?

There's a 12 minute video on Facebook if Elissa walking.

She's a champ! :)

... and some new photos. Her color looks good. :)
