Lil' Miss Emmalynn made it off the ventilator for 39ish hours! Yay! It was just enough time to tell the doctors she's still not ready, and they were able to find out that she was big enough for the next size tube so she won't have an air leak. She is much more comfortable and resting.
Now we have a new challenge. She didn't pee for a few days and after a kidney specialist saw her, he told us she has acute kidney failure. The good news is, after a diuretic and blood transfusion, she peed! They also put her on a low dosage of dopamine for blood flow to the kidneys and she peed again! This morning however, she didn't pee. So now they are giving her a little cortizone to see if her lack of that hormone will help the kidneys function and another dose of a diuretic.
Who knew our worries and prayers would be about pee?! And yes...we've been praying for pee! I am so grateful for prayer and even more grateful for a worthy husband who, with the help of my uncle John, was able to give Emmalynn a priesthood blessing for the healing of the sick. I have a testimony of blessings and faith in their power. We will continue to pray for pee and that her kidneys will begin to function on their own.
Last night while Phillip read Emmalynn scriptures he read this verse that to us means a lot right now.
And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.
