Gabrielle's Getting Better, Leaving ICU Soon

In the last 48 hours Gabrielle's oxygen requirements have dropped to the point that the doctors are planning to discharge her from the ICU tomorrow and send her back up to the oncology ward (where we were for the 10 weeks of transplant). While the last 9 days have been emotionally exhausting in that they've forced us to come to grips with some realities/decisions that are so, so difficult to comprehend, we're absolutely thrilled to see her playful spirit return, and are reminded of how precious life is.

Thanks for all the support everyone, and I'll leave you with a little video of Mommy playing with Gabrielle in the ICU:
