PLEASE, LORD, OFF THE VENT!!!

Witt is supposed to be extubated today. Probably sometime after 11am. Please pray that Witt can come off the ventilator and stay off! The echo yesterday indicated that the surgery didn't help much. There is little to no change with the valve and heart. For now what is important is that Witt can breathe without being on the vent. We were hoping surgery on the valve would help with his lungs which in turn would help assure that he would not need the ventilator. As has always been Melanie and Austan's walk with Witt, we look to our God for real assurance and for the final say! Please, Lord, please...You Yourself breathe for Witt...big deep breaths...confound the doctors...show Yourself Mighty, Mighty to Save!
