Selah does not have a cough, she has not had one issue keeping her oxygen level at 100%, no rattling, nothing! I was shocked when I was told she had a small spot of pneumonia but it happens with kids with trachs. I am so glad she will be worked off of the trach soon! This is not life threatening nor is she in the PICU....just a regular room. She still needs your prayers.
I am so discouraged tonight.....

A year ago today we had another outside day with lots of the children of Torez. I feel we were especially blessed to be able to share a few hours with them. i KNOW one day I will see all of them again in heaven...wish I could do more for them NOW!
this was the view outside the back of our apartment
Some ladies of the community working hard to get ready for "May Day"
this cat looks JUST like the original Church Cat, Tabby who is buried by the grave of the original pastor! She used to sit on his tombstone
Jon and Selah
look at this cutie, she still needs a family
Little N is home
Max is home...
Selah
the little boy Jon is pushing is sooo sweet and needs a family
Love this little guy...we were hoping to go back for him too
A sweet older resident.
my girls
he has a family and is home now!!!
This is our sweet Angela that we sponsor in the blue. I pray she gets a family
Look at her smile, so like Sarah
Sarah is here
oh his caretaker wanted him to get a family so bad...so glad he did!
i fed a cat
Look the circus came to town. It was set up across from our apartment. Our facilitator told us not to go because there were Gypsies....

We had some excitement around here today...
SAM lost a tooth!!!!
It was just hanging so Steve pulled on it, Sam thought it was so funny. i videoed it with my phone but dont' know how to load it. Sam laughed and laughed and had kept sticking his tongue through the hole laughing.
Sam is 9 years old. This is the first tooth he has lost. When a child has Peter's Anomaly, they tend to mature slower. He certainly has! He didn't even have anything but bottom teeth when he was 2 years old. Our dentist has been amazed at how slowly everything has gone, he has never seen anything like this. We wonder if Sarah will be the same.
Happy Sam
tooth in the bag!

Don't forget our orphan project for this month and May....
My goal is to raise $1000 for this family by the end of May! You can give in two ways. First you can send a check to Grace Church 7060 Berry Road, Zephyrhills Fl 33540 attn: Orphan fund and I will send one check to Grace Haven Ministries or you can click here,
and give on Grace Haven's GIVE page. Just please write it is for Patricia and the family will be able to use it for both girls.
Also please write in there that you are my friend and giving in honor of Selah & Sarah! I just want to know if we meet our goal of $1000 for these girls!

Please keep our Selah in your prayers....
Oh no! I'm sorry Selah's back in the hospital. As soon as we got off the phone I was praying for her... will continue to do so.

God continue to bless you!!
ReplyDeletePraying for Selah of course!!! And Sam for his impending trip.
ReplyDeleteHe looks darling with his missing tooth :)
UGH I don't blame you for being mad about the IV.
And hey, being friends with the EMT is not necessarily a bad thing--think of it as a silver lining. They know how to help Selah the best (at least that's the way I feel about all the pharmacists knowing us by name!)
((((Hugs)))))) mama! xoxo
It could possibly be aspiration pneumonia as well. Either way, I hope it clears up quickly.
ReplyDeleteDid you disable the ability to follow your blog by email? I was receiving emails; now I am not, and I miss them! I'm glad Selah has a good doctor, and I hope she will soon be home. I'm still praying for a miracle--sometimes miracles take time (even the people Jesus so miraculously healed when He was on earth suffered for some time--even years--before that). I accept medical treatments as miracles too, since God created the matter we make medicines out of and gave us the intelligence to create them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is going on, you are not the first one to say there is a problem. I think it might be blogspot.....let me know if it doesn't clear up!
