Scary times

After a couple of days that looked up for Tricia today's news is not good. They're moving her into ICU due to her increased CO2 levels, which indicate she's not getting enough oxygen, nor is the baby. If levels do not improve they'll put her on a ventilator - again, not a positive thing, especially for her transplant hopes. If the ventilator does not improve her oxygen levels they will deliver the baby in the next day or two. She hits the 24 week mark tomorrow and is at extremely high risk. The C section is also extremely high risk for Tricia due to the anesthetics and risk of infection.

These two young people have an incredible faith in God and courage beyond anyone I know. They are making decisions right now that I have never had to make and could not fathom.

Please pray for them.

you have an amazing son and daughter-in-law. I don't know them personally, only through their blog, but their faith is just beautiful.
