Weekend Happenings

We received one of 3 surfactant deficiency test results Friday. Praise God test 1 was negative! At that time Caroline was on 5 L oxygen support at 24 %. We weren't sure if her set back was because of that horrible probe, a viral pathogen, or disease progression. BUT NOW she's back to 2-3L at 21%. 21% is the same percentage of oxygen that we all breathe normally so she is just getting pressurized room air through her cannula. This is good because it means we are closer to going home and staying further from the ICU.


I finished the previous paragraph and Caroline dropped her oxygen saturation and had to be bumped back up to 4 L at 24%. 11:15pm and getting a new chest xray. I am So thankful God is in control and I do not have to worry. Again, God is in control and I do not have to worry.

A friend (Melissa) commented tonight on how un-phased Caroline seems to be through all of this. Melissa said Caroline is un phased because God is un-phased and God is able.

God IS able. Able to heal. Able to make peace. Able to transform. Able to make whole. God is able because of who He is. God is healer, peace maker, transformer, and restorer.

God I praise You because of who You are. God I praise you because You are healing Caroline and one day She won't even need these old lungs because she will have a heavenly body and will dance and sing and be free with You, our Maker, our King. Jesus would you bless Us with many days with Caroline. Even more so, Jesus would you continue to be so near to Caroline that she would experience you even as a 4 month old infant. Thank you Jesus for calling children Your Kingdom's pride and joy. I know You hold our baby in Your big hands and she is blessed to experience You. Thank you Jesus for being so near to my broken heart.

"Now to Him who is ABLE to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be all glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20
