With each passing day, the chances are becoming less likely that she can survive and make a full recovery from the multiple complications that she is battling.

The most recent complication involves her kidney. She only has one, and it has begun to show signs of becoming weak in its functions. This is a serious complication because of the kidney being needed to filter the toxins from her body.

The medications for sedation were not given on Saturday, but even without them, she remained asleep. There were a few times that she gave a slight move of the hand, or move of the foot to indicate that she could hear us, but she appears to be semi-conscious.

The respirator is now doing the majority of the breathing for her.

Her blood pressure is not as strong as it has been.

The blood work indicates that the bone marrow has not resumed production of the needed blood cells.

Her condition has reached a very critical point.

As I write this, I am reminded of "Footprints in the Sand". Although we cannot see her footsteps, we trust that Our Lord is carrying her to the destination that He knows to be best for her. We pray for the courage to accept whatever that will and that destination may be, and to forever stand firm in our faith.

Psalm 2:12 "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him."
