Wednesday evening update...

Unfortunately, Liam didn't do so well on the C-Pap, so they had to put him back on the ventilator around 5 p.m. this afternoon. His first blood gas that they took after putting him on the vent again came back looking much better, so they want to give him a chance to rest on the vent a while and will start weaning him off tomorrow again. Once again, they say it is not uncommon for this to happen, so we're trying to keep a stiff upper lip and give Liam the time he needs to recover.

Please pray the second time is the charm and he is able to come off the vent for good tomorrow.

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

We are praying. Gavin did the same thing, but the second time they took him off the vent he did great!!! Keep your chins up and let us know if we can do anything!! We have family that lives close by!

I'm so glad Gavin's mommy is checking in with you. I check his site too and she's able to give you reassurance from experience. These are the hurdles you were expecting, even if you didn't know exactly what they would be. You are as strong and level headed as anyone I know. You can endure, and so can Liam. God will help you.
