Madi has a healing trachea! Her bronchoscopy revealed that her repair is healing, and still in tact. There is a lot of blood and mucus built up because her lungs have not been ventilated since surgery. So today the surgeon suctioned out her mouth, throat, and down her trachea into her right lung. She cleaned it out and we will start ventilating her right lung and try and get it back functioning. Most likely on Thursday we will go back to the OR and she will do the same thing for her left lung. After that we will recuperate her left lung and hopefully she will be off the ecmo by this weekend. We could not be more excited and thankful to the Lord that she is healing! We were the only ones in the waiting room tonight and were listening to “God’s been good” and that He has. Even when we feel like there is no way up and no bright side there is and He knows what he is doing. Please continue to pray for Madi, she is unfortunately still on the ecmo for a few more days. Prayerfully she will keep her numbers high and not need so much blood or interventions. If all goes well we are on the goal to be off ecmo by this weekend. She will still have a very long recovery and we will need her to come off the ventilator and breath on her own eventually. She is also on a lot of sedation medications that will have to weaned down so she doesn’t have withdrawals. Please, please keep praying for her. This is a wonderful bit of news we got today and could not be more ecstatic! Thank you all so much for your prayers!
