It's Now Day 25

It's 1AM and we've hit Day 25 of Chrissie's stay at Methodist Children's Hospital.  Day 24 was a good day for her with no bleeding.  Praying Day 25 will be as well.  The lung fluid culture ended up being negative for everything, which isn't very helpful.  There's still infection in there, but because it didn't grow a specific bacteria, they're not able to tailor the antibiotic to kill it.  Chrissie has been on a very powerful antibiotic since her open-heart surgery on the 19th, and I know they've got one more big gun reserved for her, but it's tricky because we don't want use the big gun only to discover that something else creeps in and is resistant to the big gun because we've used it for too long.  Just praying for the infection to clear up, for Chrissie's lungs to heal completely so Chrissie can get off this ventilator and begin working her way toward going home.

To God be all the glory.  He is mighty to save.  Keep praying...
