one more thing to try

After everything we have gone through the last few weeks we are now at the last option to help Maddy be able to come down on the vent she's on. Her VSD is causing the blood to shunt in large amounts and she cannot maintain her O2 stats without a lot of help from the pressure on the higest vent setting. We are approching permanent damage. The doctors last idea is to put in a larger tube to allow the oxygen to go in better with lower pressure but they are concerned they won't be able to get it replaced in time and she may go into cardic arrest. She already did that today while we were meeting about her case. This may not even help anth d if that's the case we have no more options to help her. We can't even look at getting her heart fixed with the oxygen stats dropping like they are and they won't get better until her heart is fixed. We are asking they try the tube change tomorrow and putting it in Gods hands. Please continue to pray for Maddy.

my precious maddy is in the hospital right now. we came in for our mri and she started having trouble maintaining her o2 stats. we then found out she had pneumonia on her left side. antibiotics were started and she was put on a cpap machine to force air into her lungs. after 10 days her left lung was looking better but she continued to have problems with her oxygen stats. it was decided to do a scope so the doctors could see if she had an obstruction. before they could look around her stats dropped into dangerous levels and a breathing tube was placed. she was sedated for the scope and they have kept her sedated since. even with her being intabaited maddy was having trouble so a echo was done of her heart. that was when the problem was found. she had a rather large vsd that is causing blood from one side to mix with the other. a vsd is a hole in the lower part of the heart. the mixing of the oxygen rich blood with the non is causing her stats to be low and to bounce from high to low within seconds sometimes. she also has pneumonia in her right lung now. we have to get her well before we can move foward on trying to get her heart repaired so this doesnt happen anymore. im trying to hold on to my faith that god has a plan for maddy and remember that he can heal her.
