We went to see Jennifer in recovery. She looked pale still, the nurse said that was very normal. She was breathing normal, instead of the short belly breathing. That was so cool to see. They have her on a paralytic so she can't move and pull the ventilator out, but she was moving her legs and arms and nodded when I spoke to her. She didn't open her eyes though. As soon as I told her she was ok and doing great, she would quit moving. The nurse said that they would have her use a c-pap and if she did ok with that, they would take her off the ventilator, starting sometime after 6pm or so. That was her worst feer, waking up on the ventilator. Hopefully things will move along at a good speed and she can start to recover. I will let you know when we have some new information.

Hi Becky,
that is some great news that Jen is doing well. The rest of you should try and catch up on some sleep if you can. We and some friends of ours are keeping Jen in our prayers.

You guys are an amazing family...a role model for all of us. I love the pics! She looks so excited, like a kid awaiting a long wished for present. She is so incredible, a true fighter, you must feel so proud. Remember...each day will be 100% better than the previous one.
Love you guys,
Linda

Hi Bueschers! Jen is just as strong as we all knew she was. We have 2 prayer chains going with our family and friends. I have already received calls asking how she is doing. Wish we were there in person but we are definitely there in spirit. Glad so many were able to go with you. Love you all! You are like family to us. Tell Jen we send our love. What a special Valentine's present - new lungs! Bethany.
