Day 14 - June 29 - Lung Issues

We just left Connor's room after discussions about fluid in his lungs, different respirator settings, and a large assortment of other things. They don't seem to be able to keep his O2 saturation levels up where they need to be, even with 100% oxygen. They are limited by pressurization issues, the fear of his trachea going necrotic due to the trach tube pressures, and his lungs filling with fluid that they can't siphon out. They're doing everything humanly possible, and they're barely keeping his levels at a point where his organs are still safe. As his saturation levels fall, his organs become at risk.  It feels like we're at the point where we need direct intervention from God if Connor is to remain healthy.

Each time they have to move or work with him, he de-saturates, with his levels dropping to the low 80s. High 90s is what they want.

We need some very specific answers to prayer -

- That the fluid would be removed from his lungs 

- That all his organs remain safe and healthy

- That he attains a safe oxygen level and is able to remain oxygenated

- That his breathing capability quickly improve so that he is able to get off of the respirator soon, and with his trachea undamaged

Lord, we thank you ahead of time for the timely answer to these requests. Be honored in us.

Please be lifting Connor up, tonight and continuously.
