It's been an up and down kind of two days. Yesterday, we were both able to hold Leah dispite all the wires and tubes. She seemed more like herself. We could hear that she seemed to have some mucus in her lungs, so we were trying to get her to cough it up. Because of her incision on her belly, she wasn't able to cough hard enough to get anything out. She slept with a C-Pap machine to see if that would help with her collapsed lung. This morning the xray showed no improvement. They decided to insert the breathing tube again and do another bronc. on her. They were able to get out a lot of mucus. Both lungs look irritated, so they aren't sure if she has a viral infection. We should know by tomorrow. She will keep the breathing tube in through the night and they will see what her xray shows tomorrow. We are praying for clear lungs. She really doesn't like the breathing tube and tries anyway to get to it. Ethan came out with grandpa and grandma Sauder, so we are enjoying having him with us. We have decided to not let him see Leah until she is moved to a regular room. We are hoping that this happens before he has to head back home. He brought some gifts out that he wants to give to her. Thanks for all the prayers, cards and support through this time. .... "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " -John 16:33
