Luck of the Irish and prayers!

Monday, 3/17/14 Happy St. Patrick's Day

To start this St. Patrick's Day a little Irish Prayer.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.


Carter has had a very good day today.  Alexis the Nurse Practitioner says that the steroids appear to be working to improve his lung function.  They have been able to decrease his ventilator settings all day and have plans to get him off of the ventilator and back on CPAP within the next day or two.  He has only had two episodes today of his oxygen saturation decreasing.  They have also been increasing his feeds and he is now tolerating 7 mL of breast milk every 3 hours.  Another good news note is that Carter had another ultrasound of his brain today as part of the PENUT trial and the results revealed that the bleed on the right side of his brain is completely gone and the one on the left is improved.  This has been a great day for Carter.  We wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day and there is no doubt that the Irishman in heaven has been giving Carter some Irish strength today.  Love you Pa, this is your day!
