It is day 14 on our journey with Miss Taryn and the doctors came by this morning and have told us that they will do the PIC line procedure at two o'clock this afternoon. They feel like she has progressed enough over the weekend and she will do fine. Please be in prayer about this procedure. They will come get her at about 1 o'clock and we will get to go with her until they put her to sleep. The procedure will take about an hour and a half or two hours. Then we will get to go back in with her in the recovery room. This is not a major procedure but it is sure not a minor one either.
Taryn got a wonderful surprise yeasterday afternoon when Dr. Smith(Taryn's attending in the PCCU) came by and saw her. They played for over an hour and she really does love Dr. Smith. Traci and I were talking and it is weird how Taryn has not interacted with any of the doctors or nurses except Dr.Smith. It is like Taryn knows how important Dr. Smith was to her when she got here and how much she has done for her since she has been here. Dr. Smith is the doctor I blogged about last week that came in every morning and prayed with Taryn in the PCCU and she has been so special to our family. Dr. Smith also gives Traci and I a comfort that everything is going fine and Taryn truly is proof that God is the almighty healer.
Please be in specific prayer that the PIC line procedure goes smoothly and God will comfort her during the several hours away from mom and dad. Dr. Krause, one of Taryn's doctors, wants to see her fever come down and wants her breathing to slow down before he will consider releasing her. He won't give us a time frame because it is hard to say how she will do over the next few days.
Thanks to all of you who are praying for Taryn and those of you who have been keeping up with her progress. God Bless, Dave
P.S.- I will give you guys an update this afternoon about the PIC procedure.
