let's pray extra hard for Carson's lungs

Today, there really aren't any changes. Carson's carbon dioxide on his gas was a little higher, so they did not wean the ventilator at all. He did gain 85 grams which puts him about 7 lbs 13 oz. He did very well on taking his bottle today. But again, other than that, no changes.

Elizabeth and Preston are going to have a conference with the doctors next weekend if all works out as planned.  It will be to discuss the future plans for weaning the ventilator, projection for going home and expectations. Please be praying for direction for the doctors, nurses, and Preston and Liz. It will be a good opportunity to make sure everyone is aware of the plan and expectations. 

On that note, we need to really keep up the prayers for Carson's lungs to heal, enabling him to get off the ventilator. We are all praying very hard that he will be able to go home without the ventilator. If not, it would add many additional difficulties...requiring 24 hour nursing care, more possibilities of pneumonia, and not being able to vocalize. 

We know the Great Physician is in charge, but we are praying for Carson to go home soon without any need for respiratory support beyond oxygen. Thank you for joining with us!!!
