Trache

Savannah had the trache installed around 11 am this morning. Right now she has both the trache and the vent. There is a small leak but the surgeon said that should go away once the area heals some and seals in a few days. Her face looks better without the tube down her throat. She is still alert and wanting to watch whoever comes to visit. Thank you for the prayers for the past 3 months. We know this gives us a little more time with Savannah and are grateful for any time we have. We also pray that she continues to touch some more lives and maybe bring others closer to Christ through the evidence that prayer works. The doctor told us this morning having the trache in will make it easier to try to wean her off vent. We do not know . She may need vent still all the time, may not need it , or maybe just at night.

Pray for the family as we go through trache training soon and learn how to care for it. It will be a lot of work at home to care for Savannah but we will learn what we need to.
