Prayers Needed!

Rebekah woke in the middle of the night very congested and not breathing well. She had a temperature around 100 at 3:00, so we gave her some Tylenol. She did nurse a little and then fell asleep again and slept through what was left of the night. I will be making a call to her doctor this morning to see if we need an appointment today. Since Friday night Rebekah has been tugging at and messing with her left ear, so it is quite possible that she has an ear infection. Right now I am most concerned about her breathing/congestion. Because Rebekah's right lung is not functioning, it is imperative that we keep it free from infections. Please pray that we will get this little cold cleared up quickly!

Also, we have another weight check this morning. Rebekah has really been eating well in the last 5-6 days, so I am hoping to see at least a little progress! Pray for wisdom for us all as we discuss Rebekah's feeding plan for the next week.

And last, we were never able to get Rebekah's lab work done last week. She ended up with nine attempts total (4 in the arms, 1 in the wrist, 2 in the hands, 1 in the foot and 1 in the scalp) and the technicians were only able to get 1/2cc of blood. It was enough to run one test (a CBC), but Dr. Johnson ordered five different tests. The CBC looked good, so we were pleased about that! Today we have to attempt drawing blood again to complete the rest of the lab work. There is a technician named Nancy that was successful in drawing Rebekah's blood a couple of months ago, and she was out sick last week. We are praying that she will be back today and that she will be successful!

Thank you for praying for our sweet girl!

Nancy
