6 weeks and fighting

Skye is fighting for her life. The docs say that there is a high chance that she won't make it. So, the hospital flew Ethan back today, he got to the hospital about 6pm.

I spent the afternoon at the hospital with Coral and Skye. They don't know what exactly is causing her downturn, but they are doing everything they can to help her. She is back on the oscillator at full capacity and still struggling. When I got there this afternoon she looked so different and pale. She is back on a bunch of meds including ones to keep her still so she doesn't get agitated.  Getting agitated hurts her numbers even more and they are so low now.  She is completely out and not awake because of the meds. There was a slight improvement in her numbers by 4pm when I left, so that was a little bit encouraging, but she is still the worst she has ever been.

They have prepared Coral to be thinking of making a decision if it comes to that point in the near future. This evening an organization that takes professional photos of sick babies came in and photographed Skye.  They then get a CD and prints of their precious baby girl all for free.

Selfishly we want her to stay here on earth with all of us, but the Lord may have bigger and better plans for her home with Him. 

Dear Lord, please help Coral and Ethan through this big emotional struggle.  Please give them peace with any decisions that need to be made and show your presence and overwhelming love for all of them.  Amen.
