Taryn update

Good morning everyone,
The doctors were just in and they are still watching her blood pressure, however, it has steadily been coming down and hopefully it will get down where they want it. They said we could be moved to the floor as soon as tommorrow. The doctors words were..."Taryn has recovered remarkably well and we have never seen a more determined little girl". All the doctors and nurses on the entire floor are coming by and are blown away at how fast she has gotten off the life support machines. Many of them either saw her or worked on her when she got here and they did not think she would make it. My words to them are.."We believe in the power of prayer and God is the ultimate healer." I don't know how many of you all have heard about Dr. Smith (Taryn's attending doctor) but she is a very caring, compassionate, and loving lady. She is also a very strong christian woman. Dr. Smith comes in every morning and grabs Taryn's little hands and prays with her and she asks God to give hers
elf and Taryn a peace of mind that she knows only God can heal little Taryn. I cannot express how wonderful it is to know that many of the doctors and nurses here at Vanderbilt know that they are not the ones healing these children, but God is the one doing all the work. When Taryn first arrived last Tuesday, Dr. Smith told Traci and myself that they were doing all they could to keep Taryn alive and the only way that Taryn's little life would be spared was if God healed her. Dr. Smith's exact words were..."I see God do miracles here everyday, have faith in Him." WOW!!!! We then knew we were sent an angel here on earth by God to look after our little girl. Sorry for the babbling, love ya'll. God Bless, Dave
