*sigh*

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe 


Here we are again - the saga continues.  Finn has had a difficult last couple of days. He has a completely collapsed left lung full of mucous. He is now on the highest amount of oxygen he can be on and his oxygen saturations are marginal. They tried to break up the mucous with medications that have, so far, been ineffective. As an almost last effort to help Finn, the surgeons will try to bronch Finn (put a camera down to look into his lungs and wash out the mucous plug). This procedure comes with many risks. Finn is so swollen at this point that they are afraid they will not be able to get his breathing tube out, put a camera in, then put another breathing tube back in. If Finn loses his airway, he loses his fight to be in this world. I can hardly think of it.

Kyle and I are continuing to stay positive. We are optimistic that tomorrow's procedure will be successful. The surgeons who are working with him are so skilled and they have already saved his life multiple times. We are so happy to have such an experienced medical team on Finn's side.

Tomorrow at 8am is the time for this procedure. Hoping for the best and continuing our cautious optimism that tomorrow will bring a good outcome for our sweet Finnegan Andrew. The battle seems to be moving more uphill but we will continue to fight for him.

The nurses did arts and crafts with Finn last night. His color is a little off from the camera but I still love this keepsake.
