From Evan, Steve's brother:
Mercifully quiet day. Additional drug for sedation has worked well. Isaiah is peaceful and healing. Urine output great. Abdomen circumference is down. No "toots" yet. No evidence of infection. All seems to point to extubation tomorrow. All in all a very good day with much to be thankful for and renewed hope. Steve and Anna are doing very well.
You can pray that these trends continue overnight. Pray for a preparation of our hearts and minds for the changes that we will face as Isaiah comes off the vent, while this will be fantastic, it will also mean that he will have to start facing some new and likely painful challenges to the healing process - sitting up, more movement, more awareness of all that is going on, etc. This will be difficult for us and for him. We are so thankful that God is the Great I Am, who sent His son, Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.
