We love her to itty-bitty bits! With the fluid loss it's great to actually be able to see our Haley's sweet little face again. I can't wait till she can open her eyes and see our faces again, too.

Quick note
Sorry for such a short post - not much to say about today. Haley had another pneumothorax today but luckily they were still monitoring her frequently with x-rays so it didn't get as far and she didn't 'crash' this time. For now they are taking x-rays every 6 hours. Also, they realized one chest tube wasn't draining at all because it had clotted off, and the other one they decided was too far up and that's why it kept blocking on and off. So they managed to get the clot out of the one and they pulled the other one out a little further and hopefully they will both do their jobs and actually drain now. She's been peeing a lot again today and they actually had to give her a little fluid because she was losing too much and her blood pressure and oxygen levels were tanking. But she responded well to the fluids and has been relatively stable this evening. Keep it up Haley-bug, we know you can do it!

ReplyDeleteKristy,
ReplyDeleteI read each day from a publication called The Daily Word. I wanted to share todays meditation with you. Today I hope you can feel some protection and comfort knowing so many are praying for Haley.
PROTECTED
I am confident and secure in the presence of God.
If I am feeling discouraged or disappointed about any circumstance in my life, I take time now to become centered in prayer, to be at peace in the presence of God. No matter where I am or what is happening, I still my thoughts and move into a quiet place of communion with God.
In this place of serenity, I remember the truth of my being, the part of me that never changes. I say to myself: "I am God's beloved today and always. The Christ Spirit is within me. Everything that is true about me remains. All the power of the universe is in me."
Returning to my day, I feel my confidence restored and my sense of peace renewed. I remain in the strong and protected presence of God as I get back up and begin again.
The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone.--John 8:29
Dear Kristy,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the daily updates.I know it takes time and energy, and you have got to be physically and mentally drained. All of you are constantly in my thoughts and I am praying for Haley's recovery and strength for all of you.
Hugs,
Sheila Kalklosch

ReplyDeleteLike Sheila said....I really appreciate you taking the time to update The Daily Haley. It does take a lot of time and energy to write everything out - especially when you are exhausted. You rock.
We are praying for you haley bug!
