Well we are still waiting to get her off of the ventilator. The ICU and ear, nose, throat doctors told us that they were going to take her off of the ventilator on Friday but Friday morning they called and said that they were going to leave it in. We were so disappointed. They took her to the operating room and replaced the breathing tube with a larger one because she was having trouble keeping her oxygen levels up with the smaller tube now that her airway was opened up a little more by her jaw moving. She did much better on the larger tube. Then we were told that they would take her off the next day (Saturday). That didn't happen because she had fluid in her lungs. Same thing today (Sunday). We are trying not to get our hopes up but it is so frustrating and discouraging to think everyday for the last three days that we will get to hold her tomorrow and then be told last minute that they aren't going to do it. Please be praying that she can get the fluid out of her lungs so that they can get her off the ventilator and for peace and patience for us!

HI, Cori, Jason and Amarie!
You must be so eager to take Amarie home again! We are hoping that will be very soon. What a long ordeal for the three of you and your families. You are in our prayers.
Len and I just booked our flights to come May 13 - 16. Can't wait to see you all again, especially Amarie and, of course, McKenna!
Keep your spirits up. We love you.
Barb, Len, Dave and Darcy
