Day 373 - June 23 - Oxygen please...

A quick post to request some prayer for the boy - he spent the night uncomfortably, with a seeming inability to get enough oxygen into his system. From about 11:30 PM, he has struggled to keep his oxygen saturation above 90. We finally resorted to supplemental oxygen, but even that is only keeping him at about 90-92%.

Obviously this isn't good, although we've had previous situations like this. The difference this time is that the O2 doesn't seem to be making much headway, and so I bring it to you to help us pray.

Additionally, CheriƩ in particular was up most of the night with him, and she's exhausted right now, and I am scheduled to leave for work in an hour. Please be praying that as she sleeps this morning, that she is restored enough by her rest to make it safely through this day while I'm at work, and that Connor's saturation would return to normal levels quickly as this day begins.

Thank you for your continued support - it is things like this that remind me of the knife edge Connor lives on, and your steadfast help and encouragement lifts us up. We really, really appreciate it.

Eric

Our prayers go up for your family--both on the good and tough times. I hope the 02 sat problems got better today.

Eric,

Just catching this now but it sounds like ours families were on the same boat. The foley catheter I had was clogged and mom and I were up too. Oh the joys! I am glad that the situation was resolved and Connor was better. God is great!
