Poppy got taken back about 45min ago for her heart surgery. I made sure to get in all the cuddles before I had to hand her over. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers ♥️

- Poppy’s Remodulin pump came off today and her picc line was removed. She is officially line free 👏🏼🤍
- Not only is Poppy recovering well but she opened her eyes for an extended period. Her doctor said she is in the acute recovery stage and the coming week will be more critical, so please keep the prayers and positivity coming her way 🤍
- Transport just got here and we are headed to UVA now. She tested positive for Covid. Please pray!
- We just came back upstairs from the cafeteria and said “HI!” to Poppy and she smiled and clear as day she said “HIIIII!” Us and her nurse all smiled and were excited and Poppy smiled back like “yep I just said my first word” lol she’s making progress despite her medical issues 🤍

- This little ham saw radiology/hematology today to do an ultrasound and check on her DVTs(blood clots) in her legs. I’m happy to report she no longer has them! Big win for Poppy today 🩷
- Poppy hasn’t been able to be held since March 4th. We both held her for hours. She seems to be feeling much better besides some throwing up. Tomorrow she turns ONE 🥳🤍
- The last 36+ hours have been a lot, but the great news is that Poppy is doing really well. The only issue right now is that she’s having moments of aggravation which is expected. She did pull her art line out and almost got out one of her ivs but we caught her in time before she
