One day at a time...

I know many of you have been praying for Emma as well. At the Dr las week, they said she had all te symptoms of walking pneumonia. They couldn't confirm without x-rays which they wouldn't do without a parent there. They put her on an antibiotic. Last night was her second night with no fever. She sleeps more than usual still, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing :). Being more tired than usual could last a little while. but she seems to be on the mend. So very thankful for that!! 

For those of you who were praying for my mastitis, that is also much much better!!! Thank you so much for praying!

As for Benjamin, the Doctors came through this morning and said they aren't going to change a whole lot today. They will try lowering his oxygen support a little to begin the process of weaning him off of the machine. If he responds well, they will do more tomorrow. All they can do for now is try. The sputum culture they took a couple days ago was positive for something I couldn't understand - A bacteria of some sort, so they are treating with antibiotic until they have identified what that is. 

The Center of Infectious Disease was back up again today. They have not found anything that suggests he has anything other than RSV. Because he took a turn so late in the game (normally worse days are day 5-7; he was put on a vent on day 9) they were wondering if he possibly had more than one virus or bacterial infection he was fighting. We are happy and very thankful nothing else has come back positive!!! 

Unless something changes, today we just wait. They will decrease the support of the ventilator here in a half hour or so, and watch how he does today!!! 

Once again thank you to each one of you who is praying!!! We gain peace and strength from our Heavenly Father each day thanks to your faithful prayers!!!!
