To those affected by a heart defect:

Still looking good…

February 4, 2007 at 3:30 pm by Mom & Dad

Haven has been enjoying her weekend in anticipation of getting off the ventilator possibly on Monday.  She’s showing the doctors that she is strong enough to breathe on her own now.  They will continue to watch her throughout the day and night to see how she does.  Although she has been sleeping a lot, she wakes up long enough to enjoy some of her new gifts that mom brought back from her showers in Michigan.  Although she missed her mommy, it seems as though she enjoyed her alone time with daddy.  (She’s been wiggling her long fingers like she’s wanting to play the piano…hmm). 

Haven will be watching the Super Bowl tonight… and she will definitely be cheering for the Colts.

    Wow! That video that Justin sent of Haven’s “jabbering” was just darling. She is changing so much. By the way she was telling daddy ‘n mommy how much she loves you, and she’ll always be expecting Uncle Justin to spoil her. No one can spoil her enough, she deserves it! Love ‘n Prayers Again
