Please God........

Oh Lord Please oh Please let Kaden live. I know he will do something great with his life, just please let him have the chance. Kaden has done so much in just 3 weeks and 1 day, imagine what he can do with a lifetime!!! They tried to take Kaden off Ecmo at 10am & they didn't even have him clamped for 5 min when his stats plummeted. They said as of today Kaden has about 50% of his right lung and a nickel sized left lung (that is major progress from yesterday) They switched him to lying on his left side, and put him on the oscillator. We are pressed for time b/c of the bleeding in his abdomen. He must come off soon, so that they can stop the heparin. They are scared the oscillator will worsen the bleeding b/c it is shaking the sutures. I asked Dr. Stork if she ever saw a baby come off Ecmo with this much lung and live, she said no. I was expecting a yes, you know a confidence boost that things will be ok. So I will no longer ask questions looking for a confidence boost. They will try to clamp him again for 15 min in about 20 min, this time before calling the surgeon in. The only thing I know to hope for is for Kaden to live. His left eye is swollen shut again. His swelling is bad and he is eating blood products. Kaden has to come off. I am not ready for this but I know we have no choice. Oh Lord please, I cannot lose him. We really need those Lung Function Chants Now, more then before!!!!
