immmmmmmmprooooving (slowly)

Ok so we just talked to the infectious disease doc, and looked at today's chest xray. the news is good the xray is considerably more clear, but still shows some infiltrate.This is an improvement. In addition TJ has not been running a fever, so everything continues to improve.

they attempted to begin to ween him of the vent yesterday, but staff observed this caused a drop in his blood oxygen level, which isn't serious but dose mean that they have to take it more slowly. the doc said he thought it would be "a few more days." This means a longer time with an extremely uncomfortable tube down pop's trachea, and more days of torturous suctioning.

so the prayer request for this week is that the tube would come out ASAP, and that he would be discharged on Jan 14th. (this is the day he was discharged last year and has been dubbed his second birthday.) this is highly unlikely, medically speaking. However we have all seen and been part of miracles that have been highly unlikely medically speaking, so we pray in faith. this would also be an excellent display of Gods power to the Thai staff here. for the glory of His name.

Not to mention thanking the Lord for how well this has gone, and that there hasn't been any serious complications.

Chip for all
