Rough night and morning

I wish I had more detail, but all I know is that Katie Mei is not wanting to eat, was having some abdominal spasms last night and was curled in the fetal position because she didn't feel good, and her oxygen levels were in the low 80s without oxygen supplement.

Jay had them put the oxygen back on her and she went up to the higher 80s, but as of this morning she's on pain meds and still feeling bad.

A nurse reported to me this morning that she still has the fluid in her left lung which cannot be drained, but this is "not unusual" after the Fontan. I have come to hate the term "not unusual".

I am at such a low point and we all really need prayer for stamina and encouragement. This is so hard.

Love,
Petrie
