Need that miracle

Wow, this was a hard day. Started with Ken being the same, no changes. No fever, no vent changes, a little bit of a high heart rate, but stable. The vent is breathing for him completely now. He isn't over breathing like he was a few weeks ago. The pulmonologist talked to me this morning and doesn't think Ken will get any better. His lungs are to stiff and they think they are to scarred. We are having a family meeting on Friday at noon, conference call with the kids again. I am trying not to think negatively till the meeting. I want a miracle. I can't imagine the decision they are asking me to think about. I just can't do it. So, I am waiting to talk to the docs on Friday. We will see what they say. Till then. Ask God for strength, courage, knowledge and extreme healing. I still want Ken back.
I am bringing my parents back to Denver tomorrow to be with me. My son, Jeff and his wife Sara will be with me. My sister-in-law, Toby, also changed her flight and will be here till Tuesday. So, all that is left is to pray, to talk to Ken and to wait till Friday.
Thanks so much for all your support. You don't know how much strength I get from knowing you are out there. God Bless You.

  2. Maybe Ken can be on a vent like some quads and people with ALS are until he gets strong enough for a transplant????
