It was magical to see this baby with out a respiratory and it still is, right now. It seems that little Anna is not taking to being off the vent as well as possible. This evening they changed her to a c-pap machine and are giving her some treatments to help with the swelling in the upper airway. This is similar to the c-pap machine that is used for sleep apnea. We new this was a possibility but holding her without any breathing equipment was so nice and now that is not a possibility. She will be closely watched overnight and hopefully the tube will not be reinserted. I have to have faith that this is the best plan for Anna. Every since removing the ventilator, she has been very uncomfortable. It is hard to fathom how she feels having to do all of the work on her own and just the pain and discomfort from having the ventilator in her throat. We made a really big step today with taking off the vent, it is just that we now need to pray that she can find the strength to take charge of her breathing and a settle into the world of being a normal baby.

We love you little Anna, and Jess and David, and Lissie and Jillian too. Uncle Paul and I are continuing to pray for her, and we know that God is faithful! She is Jesus' precious little lamb that He gathers in His arms, and holds close to His heart(Isaiah 40:11).This verse was in the last comment I sent a few days ago, and also on little Anna's blanket, so I believe that God wants you to know that He IS holding her and comforting her and healing her! He is the GOOD Shepherd! Here are some more HOPE and courage verses.There is power for whatever you need in God's word! Psalm 71:5
For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence. Psalm 31:24
Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD. Psalm 33:18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who hope in His mercy! Joshua 1:9
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Isaiah 40:29
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength. Matthew 14-A little girl is healed!
So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.”When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” He took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” She arose immediately and her parents were astonished! Love,courage, and hope in the Lord! Aunt Deb and Uncle Paul
