Hi everyone! Laurie has given us another little scare this morning! Early this morning she continued to have trouble breathing and a chest x-ray was done. Laurie's right lung had collapsed, so the doctors had to increase her rate, pressures, and oxygen levels on the vent to re-open the lung. She also had to have another blood transfusion (12 cc). This has seemed to help some and the doctors are continuing to adjust her settings as she will tolerate. They have just started her feedings back at 12 cc every 3 hrs. Laurie still weighed 1lb. 6oz. Another chest x-ray was just completed and it does look better, but she is still requiring a good bit of help with the vent. Please continue to pray for Laurie's lung development and that she will be able to come off the vent as soon as possible!

Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

We are praying for all of you and especially for Laurie's lungs to continue to develop until she can breathe on her own. Keep the faith. You all are being held through the strength of prayer!

Love,
Van and Janice

I am praying for little Laurie's
lungs and for all of you, too.
Stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord. Just keep your eyes
fixed on Jesus. He is right there
with you every step of the way!
love, Nancy
