Sorry for the delay in posting an update. Hana is doing really well. She is still very sedated, although she does open her eyes from time to time and looks like she is in some pain. Today they will start her back on diuretics to try to get some fluid off of her. This will help her left lung but will also help her right ventricle so it doesn’t have to work so hard. One of the heart failure/transplant physicians reviewed the details of the Berlin Heart and how it functions with the CVICU staff. They always keep a back up device plugged in just outside her room. I will send more details and pictures soon.
Hana's Heart 
No need to apologize to us!!! We can wait until you can update us! So glad though that Hana is doing well. I sure she’s still dopey though. Such a rough thing for a little one to go through. Hope you and Paul have gotten some rest too.
BTW – I noticed 4 more states added to prayers since yesterday. Now up to 12 that I know of. ( NC,PA,CA,VA,NY,WV,FL,MY, and add NJ,Maine, Ill, Washington State to
the list)

Wonderful news! Of course we all love the updates. Very thankful to hear Hana is resting and that all is going well! I am hoping – like others have said – that you and Paul have been able to get some much needed rest before she gets out of her groggy state… Continuing to send healing thoughts and support to all of you. It is worth it, Hana! Be strong and keep fighting.
