Friday Update

Another bad night, in large part caused by a comedy of errors. Well, it's not really a comedy of errors if it's not funny is it?

Right now we are scheduled for some pretty major surgery this afternoon. Mommy needs the surgery but is not up to it so things are risky. It is certain that mommy will need to be intubated. It is not at all certain whether they will be able to extubate (take the tube out) after the surgery. If they can't she will end up in the Intensive Care Unit. They may never be able to take it out and that could result in us having to make a choice to remove the life support or put her on a ventilator permanently.

Decisions have to be made that we are not ready to be making. How could we not be after knowing this was coming? She has just done so much better than was expected that until this last week we have been living in a lull.

If we make it through today (and the next couple of days) it's only because of the great power of prayer. Won't you please join us?
