Well we got the first prayer request covered. Penny was intubated
about 1 o'clock and her co2 was 104. Two hours later it was 63. Praise
the Lord! Normal I'd 35 to 45 but we'll take it! She's on sedation so
she's resting well and that is a relief for me to see especially after
she's been struggling to breath recently. Once her numbers get under
control I think the plan is to nail down and treat what is causing the
issue. Most likely it is pulmonary hypertension which is normal in
preemies and treatable although not ideal. We will have more tests run
tomorrow to figure out a little more and I think will talk with
cardiology.
For now, Lydia is at home being loved on by an aunt, great aunt, or
grandmother and Jonathan and Penny and I are resting in the PICU.
Please continue to pray for the last list of requests. Even the co2
one.
