After a Rough Night, A Brighter Day Comes





Last night Kaidyn had to be switched back to her previous ventilator ( jet ventilator). After being taken off her steroids on Saturday, she slowly started to require more oxygen and more help from her ventilator. Late last night her oxygen requirement quickly increased and she was not recovering very well after stimulation. The increase in oxygen was not helping her and she started turning blue so they had to quickly switch her ventilator. Once on the jet ventilator, she immediately started doing better. She is doing great today on the jet ventilator and her settings are being decreased already, mostly due to the fact she was put back on steroids. She is still eating good and is very active. Keep the prayers coming!

  1. So chances are she'll have to be kept on steroids? So thankful she recovered so well when she was put back on them.
    Still praying in Seattle!
    Psalms 31:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

  2. Hope all's well today!
    Praying right now!
    Psalm 31:5-8: Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth...but I trust in the LORD. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

  3. Thanking God today for baby Kaidyn and praying that you have peace and joy this Thanksgiving. Praying she is off the jet vent soon and hopefully in her mama's arms soon.

    I know it's hard to be in the NICU during the holidays but it's where she needs to be for now and next year you'll really be able to celebrate this day together as a family.

    God bless you all!

  4. I know I'm a few miles away... but if I could hug you through the internet, I would. Instead, I'll keep praying for Kaidyn.
