TWO STEPS FORWARD......10 STEPS BACK

Couple of updates for you. Shantel is back in PICU. They moved her today after she started having some difficulty breathing yesterday. The Dr. said today she isn't moving any air through the airways so back on continuous nebulizers and heliox.

Mom has an infection at her drain site that won't heal so they came back to NC on Thursday for a Friday appointment. The Dr. put her on Cipro for the weekend and today she had a followup appointment. The meds appear to be working so they continued the Cipro and added a couple other drugs. She'll have another checkup on Thursday.

Nathan, Heather and the kids came over Saturday to spend the day. We had a wonderful time cooking out and hanging out.

Please continue to pray for Shantel that her breathing will stabilize until Nov. when she can have her transplant at Duke and for my Mom that the infection will heal so she can continue chemo.
