Meriah update (Sabbath, 10:30am)

Adam and Crissy have spoken with the head doctor.  His recommendation is to go ahead and take Meriah of the ventilator.  He says that her lungs are completely clear now.  He expects that she will be able to breathe on her own now; she is initiating every breath on her own.  He says that more time on the ventilator will not improve her prospects.

Before taking Meriah off the ventilator, Adam and Crissy have to decide what to do if she does not continue breathing on her own.  The doctors say putting her back on the ventilator will sustain her, but that if she can't breathe on her own now, she won't be able to do so later.

If little Meriah can breathe on her own, but needs supplemental oxygen, they will provide this.

Pray for wisdom and peace for Adam and Crissy in deciding when to take her off the ventilator and what to do if she cannot breathe on her own.
