Slow Recovery

Yesterday was really, really rough. Abigail was extubated from the ventilator Thursday morning and had a real tough time with pain all day. It was gut wrenching to watch. I guess it was too soon because she was intubated again Thursday evening and given more pain medication. There is a fine line between being able to breath on her own with her pain under control versus being medicated heavily enough that she needs to rely on the vent. We were hoping for a speedy a recovery and a ticket home but now we just need to get over the pain issue.  It is extremely difficult to see her like this because last week we had a happy, growing baby that just had trouble eating on her own. Now we have a really, really sick kid again. Today she is doing a little better and we hope things continue to slowly progress.  More than likely she will be on the ventilator throughout the weekend. 

We ask for your prayers specifically for healing, comfort and no infections.  Abigail has overcome several major health issues and we pray that this will just be a slow recovery back.  Thanks.

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him

Nahum 1:7
