Let's Just Wait
Mallory had a good night last night. The plan was to extababe her this morning. As most of you know things can change in a heartbeat when you are in the hospital. Mallory is doing great and breathing on her own, but at rounds this morning it was decided to wait until tomorrow after she returns from the cath lab to extabate her. Reason being if she had any trouble during the cath they would already be in and wouldn't have to do it again. Stinks for me but it's best for Mallory.
Mal had one of her IV lines go bad during the night so it was taken out and a new one placed in her right foot. Our wonderful nurse Diana got the IV in one stick. YES! She now has IV's in both of her feet. She couldn't walk around even if she wanted to! She is a trooper. She is taking a nap right now and I told her to sleep all day today and that would make tomorrow come sooner. :)
Tomorrow is the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new CICU. The televison news will be all around and they have asked if it's o.k. to videotape Mallory and her room. I said yes if we are not in the cath lab. To bad it's local news that won't be able to be seen at home.
The rest of the day is going to be spent being "the quiet kid" on the floor. Dr. Canter came in and was actually smiling and asked how it felt not to be in the CICU's most critical top 2. We said we LOVE it! She hates when she has to be suctioned out and usually bites the tube. That should make her first dental visit very interesting, right Dr. Gutz?
Thanks again to everyone for all the words of encouragement and parayers. Our prayer for today and tomorrow is to be the quiet kid with no "issues" and to get good results from the cath and biopsy!

Wendy,
Thanks again for keeping us updated! Glad things are quiet. By tomorrow night things will be so much better for you. Hope you are getting rest. Don't forget to take care of you too! Will be anxious to hear the good report about tomorrow. Until then, as always we'll keep praying! Hang in there a little longer Mal, it will all be better very soon.
Love, Robyn
Brynn is very excited for the birthday party this week. For her next birthday, she would like the same invites...she loved the shoes! We still have the headband she won in the game the girls were playing last week when Madison was giving things away as prizes...Everyday I send it to school and everyday it comes back!!
Sounds like Mallory is getting stronger everyday. Keeping you in our prayers!! The Kriegers

So glad to hear of uneventful days! Tomorrow night at this time I bet you'll have that tube out Mallory. In no time at all you'll be telling your mom to, "Sh!"
We'll be sending special prayers your way for a successful heart cath and biopsy tomorrow. We all know that you will come through with flying colors. Let's avoid in unnecessary drama though. I know how you little heart girls tend to have lots of that, but let's save any future drama for the stage.
Taryn is sending you big hugs and kisses Mallory. She can't wait to be able to see her heart buddy again. Wendy keep up the great updates. I'm a Mallory blog addict. That is the first thing I do everyday is check for updates. You've done such an amazing job of keeping us all posted.
As always we are sending prayers and hugs from the sandhills.
Love,

Boy howdy, were Logan and Madison excited to have their dad home! They were just a buzzin' on the bus yesterday. Madison is excited for her birthday. She told me it was just "three more days" until her birthday. Then she said it was on the 16th. Like I said she's really excited for it. I really enjoy having them every day and will miss them when school is out.
So glad things are going so well for Mallory. We'll say an extra prayer today for good test results. Thanks for the updates. Take care, you two!

Wendy,
I can't wait to see Mallory's story in paper back. You have done such a great job of keeping us all informed, and it is such an awesome story.
Mallory,
You keep getting better, because I am looking forward to the huge welcome home party for you and the rest or your family! We will have lots of cake and balloons (I love cake!), and maybe if mom is good she can have a red beer.
Like always, I will keep you all in my prayers, and I am sure tomorrow will be just another successful chapter to your book!
Love,
Jody and Kelsi
