Some doctors just came in to tell Emily that they'll be taking a few tubes out of her chest, and that they will have her try walking later today. She's had a little bit to drink and tried some jello but that seemed like a lot. She is doing deep breathing exercises to clear her lungs. This makes her cough and hurts, but it is good for her.
The new heart is beating very strongly; she has noticeably more color in her lips and her pulses are strong. They are starting to ramp up the anti-rejection medications.

It's wonderful to know that just a few days after Sara, my granddaughter, met Emily, she got her new heart!
Go Emily!
You go, Em!! Jello's nasty anyway, hold out for the good stuff! Amazing progress so far, and much more to come--
Emily is amazing! And your whole family is wonderful! I'm so happy that her new heart is working so well and that she got the tube out and finally got some liquids. Keep it up!!!

Emily,
This is Mrs Taylor and I have been a med/surg nurse for 23 years and I am SOOOOOOO proud of you. What an incredible surgery to have recovered from so well. Many of my BIG STRONG PATIENTS could take lessons from you. You are a great inspiration to the Gators. Brooke looked at the pictures in disbelief. Before not looking that much bigger then her but now a fierce vision of strength and heroism.
Good luck to you for a speedy recovery.
Love The Taylor's
