Reese Burdette and Patricia Stiles (Mom) Update: July 20th Once again we can attest to the roller coaster ride this has been. On Friday, we were all so excited as Mom made her way home, to Waverly, for the first time since the fire on May 26th. While we were overjoyed with this event, Reese had a rough morning. In true Reese fashion, she pulled through a very scary Friday morning just beautifully. This little girl just never ceases to amaze us! After a huge scare for all of us, Reese bounced back and is doing great today. Reeses doctors feel she needs to be tested some to see what she can do, so today, they started weaning her ECMO back and so far, though its only 15% on her own, she is handling it just fine. Getting her off of ECMO is what we all have our sites on...so please pray for Reese to handle this weaning process and for her lungs to begin working on their own. As if this wasnt enough excitement...today, Mom visited Reese for the first time. Reeses nurses had her room looking better than ever, all of her stuffed animal and pictures and gifts were placed just perfectly. Reeses hair was braided in two fresh braids and she had purple bows in her hair. The nurses and doctors that are usually bustling around in her room all stayed back as MiMi made her way to the bedside. What an emotional day but beautiful day. Mom (MiMi as the grand kids call her) talked with Reese and told her it was time to breath, and heal, and get well so we can all laugh and play soon. We like to think that Reese heard her because Reese has had a great day and had a very promising x- ray this evening. We hope to make big improvements this week with Reese...we just want her to heal so we can see her smile again soon. Mom is all settled in at the farm and is also improving daily. She shows us her strength daily and proves to us she can handle most anything. Please continue your prayers this week...we pray for forward progress with Reeses lungs, we pray Mom gets stronger everyday and we pray for the families and friends supporting us to stay strong too.
