PLEASE PRAY
We just talked to Colby's nightime nurse and she said that his blood gases have not been very good this evening and they have raised the rate on the ventilator to 60. If they do not get any better with the next couple of tests he will have to be switched over to the Oscillating Ventilator. We new there was a good chance that this day would come but he has been doing so well we thought it might be later rather than sooner. That is the hardest part about all of this is that he could be doing great one minute and have a set back the next.
Other than this he has had a pretty good day. When we saw him earlier he had the hiccups and it was so cute.
He got in trouble with the nurse a little bit... His sats and his heart rate when down a little today so the nurse suctioned his lungs to get a little fluid out and to help calm him down. After a few minutes he was still agitated so she went to get some meds to sedate him. As soon as she got back with the meds and scanned his little bar code his sats and his heart rate started to level out. It was almost as if her heard her come back with the meds and he say "ok, ok, I'll behave"
We praise God for all He has done, for all He is doing, and for all He will do in the time to come. We just ask, Lord, that you be with Colby right now. Hold him tight in your arms and keep him safe. Continue to heal his body and make him strong. Give the doctors and nurses wisdom to do what needs to be done. In the strong name of Jesus, Amen
