Day Two

Addison was pretty unstable yesterday. They performed a chest X-ray, suctioned her, and gave her a breathing treatment and her stats dropped dramatically. She was completely unresponsive to the oscillating vent and oxygen for about two hours. We were given the talk about ECMO and the doctors were in the process of completing the paperwork and preparing the team to put her on ECMO when she just recovered on her own. They told us that if her oxygen saturation stayed higher than 85% through the night that we would avoid ECMO for now.

Jason and I prayed a lot and God answered our prayers.... Her stats went up to the mid to high 90s and remained there all through out the night, so Addison fought off ECMO for now!!!
