It's a new day, 7:15am update

Okay, time to give my people an update.

We are very drained.  Willow has been doing the sedation battle with her breathing tube for the last four or five hours.  Before that, right after our scary event last night, she had some medical numbers jumping around, but she wasn't fighting the sedation.  At least we think her vitals are doing well now.  They're breathing for her while her lungs continue to heal.  

We are not helping when she wakes irritated tonight.  After all, it's hard to see her that way and be the bad guy, holding her down.  Sometimes I think her hearing my voice helps, but more often I think it makes her want to wake up more which we don't want.  Also, she thrashes out of the middle of nowhere, especially as she has developed some resistance to the medication, so we will have to jump up and hold her while the nurse runs in (if she's in the hall).  Then they up her doses again if she's really awake.

They're still trying to discover the reason for her episode last night.  Prayers for clear answers as the doctors continue to investigate and problem solve.

Love you, baby girl.  You can do this!  God, we beg for healing.
