Griffin round 9...

As a mom I feel so frustrated writing this. Griffin was admitted for the ninth time last night in to the hospital. He started having breathing problems Sunday and we took him to the ER on Monday morning. He was admitted on four liters of oxygen and his oxygen level was 96%, by 10:00 last night he had almost a 104 fever and they had to up him to 6 liters to keep him above 90. By this morning he had a chest x-ray to confirm that he had pneumonia and they begun antibiotics, but had to increase his oxygen to 7 liters. He will most defiantly be there for the remainder of the week to just get him to room air. The normal criteria for him to go home is sleep through the night on room air and his breathing treatment to be every 4-6 hours. Right now he is on 7 liters and his breathing treatments are every 2 hours. Please pray for Griffin to stay strong and for his lungs continue to grow stronger, and for us to keep his spirits up and find rest to also be there for McKenna...

Sara,
Everyone there is always in my prayers everyday...I can only begin to imagine all the fears, traumas, and events that you and Tim are coping with, not only now but have endured through the past.
All the events will unfold into God's hands and he will help you to obtain the stregth, peace and patience you need. Will it be easy?
Of course not....be it will happen.
You can count on that. My peace I give you to, and my peace I leave with you. Shalom, Gary
