Penny's Hard Day

So as it goes with this roller coaster, we had a few up days and now Penny's had a down day.  Her Ph and CO2 have been off all day and are not improving. They're calling it metabolic acidosis which means that the Ph of her blood is off.  The doctor ordered another blood transfusion (her 4th) to try to help with her blood oxygenation.  Her heart looked fine on the echo and her lungs were more clear in her most recent x-ray, but she's still not acting right.  She hasn't had a sedative all day but she's just been laying there and not fighting when people come to "mess with her"... and that's not like my Penny. 

Please pray that Dr Ravi will have clarity on what she needs.
Pray for her nurse Talia as she takes care of her tonight, including putting in a new IV for the blood transfusion.
Pray for Penny that her little body would recover and balance out quickly.
Pray for Jonathan and me as we try to trust God with every little thing and try not to worry.
