Please remember to continue to pray for Gina. She is using the trachea right now. I am a medical idiot so it has since been explained to me that the idea of this trachea is being used to hook up to a ventilator when needed but she was able to breathe on her own for 8 hours yesterday and, so far, four hours today. She is back on it today through the trachea but please keep her in prayer that she would just be able to remain calm and strong and the the Lord would just strengthen her in every way.



She will be heading to rehab within the next week or so with this machine but please pray that the rehab goes the way it should. Please also pray that the doctors and nurses who will be handling her medically in rehab will be filled with wisdom. It appears to me that this trachea is not going to be a 3-5 day thing but maybe a few weeks or so. Please pray, again, that she remain strong. It is a great thing that was able to breathe for 8 hours ON HER OWN yesterday. I know it sounds crazy but it is good. Again, so far today 4 hours. Please just pray that the meds that they use would continue to do what they need to do so she can move forward and be free of a machine, period, but, again, this is optimistic news.
