We Believe In Miracles…
First and most important, we thank God for answered prayer and we thank everyone around the world who has been praying for Alese. Thank you.
We cannot really put the last 96 hours into words; it’s probably as close to hell on earth that we’ve ever come.
On Thursday, doctors told us that the blood clots around her heart and lungs were going to require surgery to be removed. Friday, they felt things had gone from bad to worse and within 72 hours this would take her life. When we ask them what will happen if we took her off the ventilator Friday, they told us she would die within hours.
Saturday morning, we were shown x-rays that her chest had cleared completely and no surgery would be required to remove the blood clots that were around her heart and lungs, because they were gone. Her collapsed lung had expanded to full capacity and her fever had broken.
This morning, doctors told us they wanted to take her off the ventilator on Monday morning and at this moment; we feel she’s out of “end of life” danger.
Our prayer for the next 24 hours is that they remove the chest tube and they take her off the ventilator (in that order) we want her to be sedated when they remove the chest tube.
Either way, they’re going to treat her with a regimen of chemotherapy that will treat the HD and still allow the transplant team to collect stem cells in weeks to come.
Heavenly Father, I praise your name for hearing our cry for this precious lamb of yours. You were, and are faithful to the cry of your people. Guide the doctors in these coming days. Cover Alese in your love, comfort and peace as she continues her Fight 2 Win. You are the great physician, and we will continue to trust in you. Thank you Father, for all you have done for us and all you are going to do. May your Glory be shown through this storm and may we be renewed by your strength.
We request your continued prayers,
The Coco's
