Day 15 - June 30 - Morning Report

Eric just called with a status report.

Connor's condition has worsened to some degree over the night. His oxygen saturation continues to drop as the condition in his lungs deteriorates. While this may just be one of the many dips on the roller-coaster, the medical staff is concerned enough that they have transferred him to a different kind of bed, one that rotates him completely, as opposed to the one that was just rocking him. So now he gets completely rolled over, which sounds like fun if you are 14 and healthy, but not so much for Connor.

As you can imagine, for Eric and Cherié it brings discouragement and despair. God did grant a bit of relief during the night, however, after the staff called Eric at the house at 1:30 a.m., they were spared the sense of urgency to return to the hospital and they were able to pray and doze for the rest of the night. They are preparing to head in as I write.

Pray for Connor's ability to get the oxygen that he needs, and for Eric and Cherié to get the rest and encouragement that they need.
