Somer just got off the phone with Adam, who just talked with the doctor. The doctor is not positive. He says that Meriah is not heavily sedated, but is not responsive, and has not been trying to breathe on her own today. He says that babies with lowered body temperatures can still respond to stimuli, and they are not seeing this. Because of the extended time with low oxygen levels, there is significant concern of brain damage. Adam and Crissy, who had been feeling a bit more hopeful, are naturally taking this news hard.
The doctors opinion seems to be quite the contrast with the encouraging opinions of the nurse watching her.
The doctor said they will begin warming Meriah up around noon tomorrow (Friday). He wants family to be available to be with her 24 hours a day.
The doctor's opinion is that, short of a miracle, things are not good. However, it is a miracle that this baby was brought into the world; and it is a miracle that she has survived. God's arm is not to short to provide the miracle of healing. Please continue to pray.
