I just talked with Ryan's nurse. His oxygen is at 60% and his PEEP is still at 12. We need his oxygen to get down to 30-35% and his PEEP to be at 5 (or maybe 8 would be okay, not sure). Please pray that Ryan makes some significant advances today or that his lungs become available.
I was just downstairs checking on the availability of my hotel room for tonight. I was trying to decide what would be best to do for tonight and where I should stay. When I asked the clerk she said, "you are already booked for tonight, the hospital called and approved for two more nights". They had paid for our first night, but now they are paying for the first 3 nights! It is such a huge blessing. We have been blessed by many generous monetary gifts, but I want to be a good steward of those gifts and stretch them as far as they will go. I am so thankful for each unexpected blessing!
Sometimes it is hard for me to pray about Ryan's new lungs. When I pray for Ryan to get his new lungs, in essence I am praying for someone else to die. That obviously is not my wish, but that is the conflict I feel. I am thankful that God is the one in control; he has everything worked out in his great plan both for Ryan and for the donor. I do pray that the donor is a believer who will go to be with Jesus after giving Ryan a new chance at life.

What a blessing!!! Our God is a MIGHT GOD indeed!!! Woody and I prayed that God would be in the "little" details. Oh how great!! What a great prayer too, that Ryans donor would have eternal life while giving Ryan his new lungs. We will add that to our list of prayer requests. Love you girly!! Tell Ryan we say hello -k-. Love,Kandy.
