Chrissie is doing very well. The new ventilator is agreeing with Chrissie's lungs, and her oxygen sats have been in the 90's all day!!! The morphine is working beautifully, too. Thank you God!!! Chrissie has been quite content and is resting peacefully for the first time in days. Oh, I am so thrilled to feel like I can get soem rest without worrying that she's silently crying in the night.
Just wanted to say, too, that the nurses at Methodist Children's ROCK. They give the best care to Chrissie, and my struggles with pain relief for Chrissie were complex because there are pros and cons to every drug. Most of these drugs affect blood pressure and heart rate, which are not things we want to mess with in Chrissie's case. Last time her blood pressure suddenly dropped, it just kept dropping until she "coded" (died), last Thursday. Chrissie is ultra-senstive to the side effects of drugs, and the princess does not do well with changes. She had grown tolerant to the Fentynel though, so that is why they switched to morphine, which is working SOOOOOOOOOOO much better!!!
I've gotta get some sleep, but just wanted you to know that Chrissie is stable and resting peacefully. We're ready for more marvels on this Marvelous Monday!!!
PS One reader would like to begin this week of prayer with fasting for Chrissie today. Please pray to ask God if He's calling you to join her. Regardless, please know that your prayers are greatly appreciated. And remember, God answers "knee mail"! :-)
