My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.       2 Corinthians 12:9

Tuesday Update

Rebekah has had several different tests run today, so we have not been able to see her yet. We did take a few pictures last night after she was hooked up to the ventilator.

Rebekah on vent

Rebekah was able to rest much better once she was on the ventilator. She will remain on the vent until after her surgery or until the doctors determine if she can be taken off the medication to keep the ductus open.

This morning Rebekah had at least one echocardiogram (like an ultrasound on her heart). She also had a CT scan of her heart so the doctors can try to gain some more information about the blood flow to her right lung. Based on that information, the doctors hope to be able to determine whether or not she will need to remain on the medication to keep her ductus open and when they will be doing surgery. We hopefully will be able to update with more information later today!
