We spoke to one of the NICU doctor's tonight and he confirmed that Farrah has pneumonia and sepsis in her lungs. Farrah is currently being sedated so that she can rest and let the ventilator and medicine do their jobs. The culture results will tell us if the sepsis is also in her blood stream. We pray that this is not the case.
This is so scary for us, and all we can do is trust that Farrah will continue to fight as she has been doing her whole life. It was good to see our daughter tonight even if we had to put on gowns and gloves to be by her bedside. They are providing excellent care to her and are watching over everything so carefully.
We strongly believe in the power of prayer and request your continued good thoughts, prayers, and well wishes for our baby girl. In Farrah's nurse's words to us tonight "we're still in the danger zone." This is such a change from how she was doing less than 48 hours ago.
Many many prayers coming from Joe and I. Farrah's a tough little fighter and she'll come through this. Lots of love sent your way.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely praying for Farrah's quick recovery from the infections. She's a little spitfire and I'm sure she can get through this. Lots of love to you, Ray, and Farrah.
ReplyDeleteWe've been following your updates closely and are so sad to hear that there's been this turn, but it does indeed sound like she's a fighter! Sending lots of prayers for all three of you. Thanks for the update, and we will be thinking of you!! xo Katie and Chris
