Day 455 - September 13 - Bon Voyage, Brad and Margaret!

Well, the weekend has come and gone. Brad and Margaret, after a very enjoyable visit, have packed their bags and flown back to Michigan. It was truly a joy to visit with them for just a few days - the break in the routine was most welcome! Don't let it be too long before you're back again!

Connor's weekend went pretty well, all things considered. We're still trying to understand why he has difficulty staying saturated at night - the pulmonologist wondered last week if he had been wrestling with a bout of bronchitis - but as of last night he was still requiring supplemental oxygen at night to stay saturated.

This isn't good, as you can imagine. You require a certain percentage of oxygen to stay alive and healthy, and if you don't get that things go very south, very fast. So in addition to the concern about him staying saturated, one or the other of us (OK, I'll be honest - usually CheriƩ) has to spend the night next to his room and make sure he stays saturated. The wear and tear begins to show pretty quick, and so your prayers for his saturation continue to be not only appreciated, but coveted too.

Tomorrow begins another week, with a number of doctors' appointments on top of the usual routine. Thank you for your continued prayers for Connor, and for the rest of us as well.

E.

Thanks for the update, soo glad you had a good weekend with family! I am really sorry that the oxygen issue has not been settled, I will be praying for that to be resolved. I will also be praying that the doctors Connor visits would tell you something new and helpful about the situation. May God bless and keep you all this week; at work, home or the doctor's office!

Thinking everyday of you and praying for God's blessing on each little (and big) thing that is a hurdle for you today.
