Hi could you please keep a little one who is having alot of problems post op from the fontan in your prayers? his name is Corbin . he was doing well and was being moved to step down and crashed here is todays up date (and a need for blood request) his carepage is CorbinGrabb thanks Lyn
Because there is God, there is Hope!
Update, prayer request and Call for YOUR help:
We continue to pray for a miracle of healing for Corbin. We have seen so many and we pray and expect yet another. My delay in posting is only because there is no significant change. Corbin continues on ECMO, to lose too much blood, and has received dozens of units of blood products. Although the blood must be thin to prevent clotting off the machine or dangers to the blood stream, his is not coagulating at all. This has resulted in a new medication to promote clotting, but that also means a second ECMO machine has been readied to take over if the first one clots off.
Corbin is constantly attended by the ECMO team which has to rotate due to the busy-ness of their work, plus other doctors 24/7. The U Mich staff is amazing.
Praise: T&T both rested well last night. Pastor Dave is still there with them. Corbin is still with us and God is in control.
Request: Because of the use of constant blood products, U Mich supply is running VERY low. In order to receive more blood from the American Red Cross, the ARC must first HAVE the blood. The hospital and T&T are asking that everyone who possibly can, donate blood through your local American Red Cross. Do NOT specify it for Corbin as that just ties the hands of the teams, but donate so the supply will continue to be available to U Mich to treat Corbin and others who need it. It does not matter where you live or what your blood type is. Just donate to the ARC, please.
Thank you -- I must hurry off to church meeting, but please know that your prayers are precious to us and honor God. We give God all the Glory -- great things He has done. We continue to pray with hope and will post as soon as there is any news or significant change.
