Kate had a little better day today. However, we got a call from her nurse at 2:30 am this morning telling us that Kate was having a hard time keeping her sats up being on CPAP. In fact, Kate was on the highest level of oxygen and still not making any progress, so we had to re-intabate her and put her back on the ventilator. This is very discouraging to us because it is so invasive to take her off the vent and put her back on it. Plus, it irritates her throat so much which causes her to gag and choke. It's very hard to watch her go though this. The hardest thing is not being able to hold her and comfort her. This is perhaps the most trying thing that we have ever had to endure. We're hoping that by surgically fixing her airway obstruction, that all the other things will correct themselves. It's just something we are going to have to wait and see. Weekends are pretty uneventful, as most doctors and specialists are off for the weekend. So, it looks like things should start rolling on Monday. John and Michelle & the kids came and spent some time with us today. John and Bryan gave Kate a beautiful blessing. We have definitely felt that hand of the Lord through this experience. We are so grateful we have the Gospel and the comfort it brings to us.
