Praises and Prayers

Dear Friends,

Just wanted to give you an update on Taryn...

Praises!

1. Taryn was switched to the conventional ventilator today and is being weaned from it and tolerating it pretty well.
2. Taryn's toes are still in question, but are looking like they are pinking up a bit! Please keep praying for her toes to completely pink up! She is wiggling her toes which is a good sign.
3. The nurse started a feeding tube on her a bit ago. As she tolerates the feeding, they can remove the IV feedings.
4. Traci's fever is gone, but please keep praying for her health to improve.
5. Taryn's IV blood pressure and diuretic meds were removed! Her vital signs and output look great!
6. The head of the infectious disease department told us this morning that after this is all over, Taryn will have built up many antibodies, so her body should never experience this illness again!
7. Chest tube should be out today!!!


Prayers:

1. Taryn can be weaned from the vent.
2. Taryn would not get any secondary infection.
3. Taryn's toes would be a beautiful shade of pink!!!
4. The many families up here with very sick kids. So many of them don't know the Lord. Pray that Dave and Traci's faith would be evident and that they would have the opportunity to share the love of Christ.
5. That the Lord will keep Tycen, Taylen, and Tylee as they are away from Dave and Traci.

We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, visits, phone calls, work at the store, work at the house, food....I can't think of anything else. You all mean the world to us and we are grateful to be a part of God's family who lifts us and carries us in difficult times.

All our love,

Dave, Traci, Tycen, Taylen, Tylee, and Taryn.
