Another single event day

The only thing that improved today is that she has to take 7 more breaths a minute than yesterday. The vent was turned down to 23 from 30 today. That is it. Nothing more nothing less.

We started another treatment for the lungs today, and we hope she responds well.

Realize this ladies and gentlemen. What we have here is a fact that Jonna would not be here today if not for mechanical ventilation. But we know that the vent is hurting the lungs, so it is like my friendly enemy. I like it for now, but I want it gone when I can. What we fail to realize is that we would not have Jonna right now if not for the vent. After 1 month old tomorrow, she is still not breathing on her own. That is a problem to me and we all need to pray for those lungs REALLY REALLY bad. We do not have a living, BREATHING Jonna until we can get off the vent. Once we do this, she can take her time and do the rest herself, but she has to get to the breathing part and do it soon, long term on the vent causes way too many problems. Too many to discuss here, and some of them I don't even want to talk about.

Redesigned the website a little more, now the donation can be any amount you want and the picture of the day is brighter and all pictures are easier to find. Hope you like the small changes, I will do more as soon as I have the time.

Our first fund raiser is this Saturday. We are selling BBQ plates for 5. 00 and having an auction and some raffles. So please come join us, it will be our first time in public in awhile, and we hope to see everyone.
