There is a certain song that my Grandpa Blasi would always sing that has been residing in my mind this past week… Onward, Christian Soldiers. With so many people standing by Taylor’s side as she fights this battle, this song seems appropriate.
We can sigh a collective breath of relief. The Neurologist has confirmed the MRI results! She also said that if the decision were made that Taylor does need to be put on the transplant donor list, with these results she would be accepted. So that is good news, but we are hoping it doesn’t come to that. The condition of her heart has not changed, but I know our Prayers are still at work.
Other than that, it was a quiet day for the Whitehead clan. They have not taken the respirator out yet because Taylor has some swelling in her throat. They aren’t in a huge hurry with that, so they are going to wait until they get the swelling down. Taylor slept most of the day, which Jeff said was a good thing because Taylor gets agitated with the respirator when she is awake. Plus Taylor needs the rest.
Jeff is planning to go home and spend some time with the boys tomorrow. He misses the boys. He said he really is looking forward to tucking them into bed at night before heading back to the hospital. Something so simple that we take for granted every night.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forwarding into battle see his banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
God Bless, and keep Taylor in your thoughts and Prayers.

Tammy, Jeff, and Taylor,
Here is a scripture I received via an email devotional this morning. When I read it, I thought of you all: Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him...Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.
~ Hebrews 10:22-25, NLT
Wonderful news!!!! I am so glad the neurologist confirmed the results! Amen and hallelujah!

Tammy and Jeff,
I was just given a wonderful verse for this miracle that is occuring:
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
Psalms 118.8
Praying for you both and your family.
