Her furry friend, Nettle, stopped by to check in on her (they haven\u2019t hung out in a couple of weeks). Today, her aunt Lala spent the day with her playing, doing crafts, and watching movies.

To our amazement though, she hasn\u2019t been on pain meds for several days. She only gets Tylenol as she needs it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight of the day was seeing her walk the halls of the CICU. This is her first full walk since her transplant and she went above and beyond our expectations. She needed very little help and never said that she was tired. By God\u2019s grace we will be moving back to the CCU (step down unit) on Monday. Thank you Lord for your hand on her recovery, thank you all for your faithful prayers.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ela Walking the CICU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XH6gH_za3Mg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>\u201cBe strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD\u201d Psalm 31:24<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last two days have been fantastic.
