We have had some internet trouble right in the middle of trying to post on Wednesday night so here is what I was trying to post. I will update again this afternoon.

Luke made it through another scare today. I came back from lunch to see the doctor by his bedside which meant something was going on. They said his saturation level dropped and wouldn't come up no matter what they did. He thought is was due to his swelling and the blood vessels between his heart and lungs so he was trying some nitric oxide gas. If it was going to work it would work immediately - if it didn't there was nothing else he could do. They hooked the machine up and Luke's level came up immediately. He has remained stable now on the gas in addition to his ventilator. He continues to be so swollen as you can see in the picture. We are so thankful again for doctors with wisdom! I had been sitting there all morning praying for the nurse, the respiratory therapist and the doctor.
It is so good to hear so many stories of how this situation is touching lives. We know God has a purpose in Luke's life and the struggles he is going through. God gives us peace to get through each day, sometimes even each hour.

2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 " We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed; perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed. We alwasy carry around in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
