Very funky day...
Today is not one to remember if only to bring up weird things that occurred. Many many many many DeSats today. Quick ones too. She seemed to be in a limbo land....
waking up from the anesthesia and then not being ready to wake up and then being too tired to be moving, then not breathing from the anesthesia then not keeping oxygen then having problems.
Amazing day. It was really hard and taxing to watch today. With the already little sleep that we have over this surgery, we struggled through watching very bad things and trying to stay calm and focused. It was difficult. Very.
BUT she is doing better on the ventilator than expected so that is good.
She may have an infection so they have begun antibiotics to make sure to stop it at the pass.
Everything was different today, however, I think she will come out of it fine. She had a little bleeding in the iris of one eye, and the doctor says that should go away in a couple of days. So fat, everything seems to be moving forward, she just isn't waking up from that anesthesia as fast as Daddy would like.
The doctor is very calm about all the acitivites today, so I will now try to relax also.
I ask of all my readers, to silently thank every one of those nurses in that NICU. All of them, every single one of them has had a hand in making Jonna have a life. They have watched her do very well and helped her through the very difficult. I also cannot say enough of her doctor, he is one very impressive doctor and has such incredible, knowledgable experience that I feed off of everyday. I honestly can say that these people and people like them all over the world, make families possible where there might have been impossible. Right now, think about that. Please take the time right now to silently thank them all.
The foundation will make sure to help nurses in all facets of their lives. I owe them that.
Well, I can't really form complete sentences any longer.....hopefully will be more rested tomorrow.

I would first like to say that it is great that your daugther is doing well, and that you and your family continously remains in our prayers as we await the day, as you do, to hear those now infamous words (penned by Paul Harvey)..."the rest of the story"..with regards to Jonnas Journey.
Now onto the reason that I chose to comment.
I take issue with your closing statements, with respect to the implication that the gift of life that has been giving to you and your wife was due to the effort of all in the NICU. I (as well as others) applaude the effort, skills and knowledge of medical professionals. And with no disrespect intended, the medical community has no doubtedly made leaps and bounds in regards to where they were 20 years ago. But to fail to see, even in our advances, our limitations is a very strenuous oversight, that our society has sought refuge in and is being consummed by. In 1997, the results of two studies imply that at least 44,000 and perhaps as many as 98,000 Americans die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors(See "To Err is Human: Building a safer Health System", 2000 by the Institute of Medicine).
So again, with all due respect to the work and effort that is being put in by the members of the NICU, I would like take this opportunity not to debate or to bash, but to give the thanks and praises to GOD for the increase that we have seen in this childs health and well being.
Mankind has no control except the control that has been granted him by our heavenly father, and to fail to acknowledge him is again a ....very strenuous oversight, that our society has sought refuge in and is being consummed by.
God Speed,
Icthus
