Sunday, January 22nd 2nd Update
We just spoke to one of the attending physicians, and they just got word from the lab that the culture taken from Will's trach is growing some bacteria. We won't know exactly what it is for another 24 hours or so, but she suspects that it is pneumonia. Hopefully they have caught it early enough that it won't take but a couple of days for him to get rid of it. We'll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime, they have had to paralyze him and give him fentanyl to get him to rest and let the ventilator and medicines do the work.

Thanks for the update. You know we are praying for you. Thank God for antibiotics! I hope that does the trick.

We all share your disappoint at this news, but confident that Will is in good hands. So many, many people are praying for you all. You are continually remembered by our Family of Faith class at Highland Street church. Since Will's birth (and before), God has shown his power and Will has shown his will-power time and again. We pray they come through quickly this time and bring you all home soon. You all amaze us! Stay strong.
Love,
Uncle Jay
