This is from her blog:
Both doctors agreed that Reese has an enormous amount of medical issues and that her days appear to be numbered (days to weeks to a few months at best). With Reese's heart / lung condition not showing signs of getting worse (still very weak and compromised though) and with her not being in pain, Ashley and I have decided to see how she responds when she is taken off of the sedation to see if she can be stable. If she is not able to be stable without being sedated which lets her body rest, then we will have to reconsider leaving her on life support as she will have to be in a constant sedated state which leaves her unresponsive.
Our prayer is that Lord will call her home without us having to make the life support decision or for the Lord to improve her condition dramatically where she does not have to be in intensive care. We know that God has numbered all of our days and the thought of our daughter being called home to Heaven shortly leaves us with great joy and peace and also sorrow as we will deeply miss her until we see her again in Heaven. In the midst of great sorrow and tears, we can still have joy because we know that the Lord is in complete control, works out all things (including evil) for our good and that the ultimate end to our life on earth is the start of our life in Heaven.
Her condition emphasizes that God cursed all creation and that creation suffers everywhere, the suffering of our time on earth compares nothing to the glory of Heaven and we all will die someday and will loose everything on earth. We will all stand before the Lord in judgement either forgiven by the death of Christ and accepted into Heaven or condemned to eternal hell for those who have not repented of their sins to God and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior as the Bible states. We are also thankful that God grants Heaven to all of those who have not reached the age of accountability or are not able to be accountable due to cognitive issues. Going through this trial makes knowing the Lord and Heaven more sweet and is a reminder that life is but a vapor.
