One Down… Two To Go.

Alese has been showing progress daily with her labs and oxygen saturation….

We had a little scare this morning, her heart rate went up to 170 beats per minute and for three hours did not go below 150 beats per minute. However, she did not desaturate and this itself was good news. They feel the accelerated heart rated is caused by one of the antibiotics that she’s receiving to treat the fungal pneumonia.

The CMV infection is completely resolved and now the focus is directed on the fungal (aspergillus) pneumonia and treating the HD… All the doctors are amazed that she’s pulling through this. On a number of occasions, they’ve given us grim news and without question, they’re amazed. They told us today she is beating the odds, and proving them wrong.

Dr. Moore came in this morning examined her and then sat down next to her and read her scripture from Isaiah and Psalms… We are so blessed.

Father we thank you for hearing our cries and once again performing another miracle before are eyes. We give you the praise and glory… Thank you Father, please continue to touch Alese’s body and heal her from this infection and this very misunderstood cancer.

Blessing,

The Coco’s
