We (and the doctor) convinced everyone involved in Maggie's care that she does much better when she's not handled, poked, listened to, measured, shifted, etc. So Maggie was left alone today and she hasn't changed much since this morning. Which is a pretty good thing. Her oxygen saturations have been about 90 today--receiving 60% oxygen. She is retaining too many fluids, though, so that will need to improve.
Ready for day 9 in ICU and to see what tomorrow brings. We still believe in Maggie and in all of the prayers that are being sent on her behalf.

Keep working hard, maggie. Praying for you all...~mz
Continuing to pray for Maggie's healing and for you, Whitney and Andy to be held up by God's strong hand. I think of our long stay during transplant, but know this is so much more serious. Believing in your faith to hold you and keep you strong. Hearing your faith and hope in your updates, but cannot help but wonder how you are doing. Our God of miracles has been petitioned again and again to grant healing to Maggie...and soon!
We are believing. She has made it this far....a very strong sign. We will keep praying for your sweet girl and also for parental strength for you guys.
So glad that they listened to you and were convinced to leave her alone today as much as possible--and glad that today was a steady one. We're pulling for you three and believe that Maggie is a miracle-in-the-making. She is an amazing fighter and has amazing parents!
Continuing to lift her up in prayer, hope it's a quiet, uneventful night for the three of you!
Love,
Elisha
So glad to hear that sweet Maggie stayed the same today. Our hearts have been so burdened for you over this last week. And now we just found out that our close friend has been told he has Stage 4 liver cancer. I was praying for all of you as I was jogging this afternoon, and I saw a beautiful sight...part of a rainbow pointing straight to the heavens. I could only think of God's faithfulness and promises to us. His unwavering love is there for you, even in the midst of this trial. Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ. I hope you take comfort in that love tonight.
So thankful for this update. I worry when I don't see anything. Thankful Maggie had a good day.Praying for you. When I think of all we have done in the past 9 days, I can't even imagine the emotional drain you have had. Stay strong. Always in my thoughts.
Still praying for all of you!!!

A couple songs that I thought you might enjoy. Good night sweet Maggie. Our prayers are always with you. Andy and Whitney, you're are the strongest two people in the world. You are inspirations to believers and unbelievers alike. You are changing people's lives all around me. Continue to be strong and rely on God. So many prayers are going out to you all.
I am glad that Maggie was free from pokes and prods as she musters up the strenght to heal. Rest, Maggie, may sweet dreams fill your sleep and bring you solace,
Whitney and Andy, stay steady at the helm, but know that there are many hearts sending their love and support to you.

Praying for you to remember that as you can't hold your little Maggie, that God still is!
Keeping you all in my thoughts.
I'm praying that your night was at least as steady as the day was. I'm praying for improvement and our miracle. I believe in our Father, to strengthen and heal our already-strong Maggie and to comfort and strengthen her two amazing parents.

Dear Andy and Whitney,
I was at a loss for words last evening. Our hearts are so heavy because of what Maggie is going through. We are praying constantly for her.
I couldn't sleep last night because of what you both are enduring as parents. I was pleading to God that He continue to hold Maggie up in prayer and touch her little body with a miracle.
We hope Maggie and you both had a good night with no bumps. Continued prayers for strength and faith. We will wait for your next blog.
Love you guys, Tina and Bill
Hope you guys were able to get some sleep. We continue to pray for strength and comfort for you and Maggie.
Love,
Nat and Andy

I can only try to imagine how challenging this battle is for Maggie and both of you. I realize that it must be much more trying than I could possibly imagine. I pray and hope that the support you are getting from everyone can help you, if only somewhat, so that you may continue to battle. I pray and hope that Maggie continues to heal entirely. Maggie, Andy, and Whitney, we are with you and here for you.
