I.C.U. – Day 9

It’s hard to believe this much time has passed…This has been a roller coaster ride filled with few peaks and far too many valleys.

As of now, she's still receiving oxygen and the problem she’s been experiencing with her lungs and breathing persists.

Earlier in the week, she was improving each day and then on Wednesday things stabilized. Unfortunately, things stabilized too early and doctors are working feverishly to figure out why positive progress has stalled. It could be a multitude of things, but at this moment, we have no definitive answers.

Over the last two days she’s alternated taking steps forward and backwards. A few minutes ago, doctors told us she’s a step away from going back on a ventilator.

Father, please give her physicians wisdom on how to effectively treat Alese. Please open up her airways and allow her to breathe freely and on her own, please grant Alese the physical and emotional strength to persevere. Please continue to mold, shape and guide her life as it brings pleasure to you.

We request your continued prayers. We'll update this site as information becomes available.
