Cannot find any recent news on Sarah Murnaghan, the 10-year-old Philadelphia girl who fought a legal battle to be included on the adult lung transplant list.

Does anyone know how she is doing?

Here's the latest. It is carried locally in Philly, but since she is doing well, and Obama and his plans have egg all over their faces, there is no real national coverage of it:

Sarah Munighans Road to Recovery

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The 10-year-old Delaware County girl who underwent a double lung transplant on June 12th and a second one on June 15th is now recovering.

Sarah Murnaghan, of Newtown Square, Pa., underwent the double lung transplant surgeries at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Her mother, Janet Murnaghan has been posting updates on Sarah’s recovery. Those updates will be posted below:

Sunday, July 28, 2013 (afternoon): Finished TPN today (IV food), all nutrition is going through her G/J-tube now. This is a big step, Sarah has been fed by IVs for the past five months.

Sunday, July 28, 2013 (morning): Sleeping with Sarah in my arms last night, I could hardly sleep, overwhelmed by the miracle of her life and breath. Everyday I am so thankful to the two hero’s who gave Sarah the selfless gift of life. Praising God!

Saturday, July 27, 2013: We continue to push getting out of bed and strengthening Sarah’s muscles. You’ll notice the fullness of her face, those extra kissable cheeks are the result of two things; 1. High dose steroids, and 2. The pressure of the trach ties. It’s just an added bonus that there’s more of her to kiss!

Thursday, July 25, 2013: “We are getting little bits of Sarah’s voice here and there as she tolerates the cuff on her trachea being deflated.”

Wednesday, July 24, 2013: Sarah is in Rehab mode, getting out of bed multiple times day, practicing going from standing to sitting.

I had not read of her progress in some time.
Thanks for the link to her Mother’s daily notes.

The Ministry of Propaganda silence for this story speaks volumes. Lil Barry lost.

First transplant failed, so she got a second one.
