Day 648 - March 25 - Results

Well, we managed the hospital well enough, and the staff there came through with flying colors. At the CT scan machine, they had four or five helpful, smiling folks available to get Connor into and out of the scanner, and for the other procedure the nurse and doctor were willing to try, and successfully able to perform, the procedure without having to move him to an examination table again. So the tests went as well as they could, and I consider that an answer to your prayers for us while we were there. Thank you Lord, and thank y'all for being such faithful friends to us!

So far, we've had no results from all this except one. Connor's pulmonologist called yesterday and said that the CT scan of Connor's lungs shows some problems in both lungs. Apparently there's gunk in there, which may have developed over the last year or so, or it may be stuff they missed after Connor's accident. There are a few things he wants us to do in the meantime, but it may result in him having to surgically go into the boy's lungs to clear stuff out, like they had to do back in the hospital days.

As you can imagine, we'd rather not have to do that! So there's (yet) another prayer request for you - that the measures we began yesterday to address this would be successful and Connor's lungs would regain their health. Also, that this would speed the process of successfully weaning off the ventilator. I don't believe Connor needs the thing for the rest of his life, and we want to see him be able to send it back to the provider with a nice thank you note attached! So that's what we're praying for, and we so appreciate your joining us.

In other news, the van is back in the shop, hopefully to be correctly fixed and back soon. We'll see. In the meantime, in the words of my irrepressible son, "we'll wait here". 8-)
