Taryn update

Good morning everyone,
It is day 9 of little Taryn's stay here at Vanderbilt and she had a decent night last night. Tera Melber stayed here with Taryn and Traci and I went and got about five hours of sleep, which felt like a hundred hours. The doctors ran an EKG last night to check her little heart and are looking for any damage. They said there is still a possibility of that but they are being positive that her heart is fine. Her breathing continues to be rapid and labored, but consistant. They will be in this morning to evaluate her and see if she is strong enough for them to put a PIC line in her arm so we can give her IV antibiotics for about a month after we leave. They said they doubt she will be able to go through the procedure today but maybe tommorrow.
Teresa brought Tycen and Taylen down yesterday and it was wonderful to see them for a little while. We had lunch and just hung out. Teresa stayed here with Taryn so Traci and I could get them out for a few hours. We really miss Tylee and this is the longest period of time that we have been away from her. I think Papa Ted is really going to miss her once we get home and she is not there to play with him and Tate.
Please be in prayer today that Taryn's breathing will get better and we will get a good report on her EKG. Also, please be in prayer for Teddy. He got volunteered to go on Tycen's 5th grade field trip to the state capital in Frankfort. Teddy is on a bus with a bunch of fifth graders. (That's scary!!!) Thanks for all you have done and we could never thank you all enough for all of your prayers and help. It is times like these that you realize how fourtunate you are to have good friends and that friends will do anything for you in times of crisis.
God has touched our family and shown himself to us through all of you. God Bless, Dave
