Tomorrow is the big day we have been waiting for.
my wife, Micha has been on life support for 35 days now due to cancer complications that led to pneumonia, ARDS and ultimately failed lungs.
for the last 14 days she has been on an ECMO machine that basically bypasses the lungs and oxygenates the body for you, thus giving her lungs a chance to heal. Her prognosis 3 weeks ago was very poor, but this ECMO procedure has given her a second chance.
tomorrow they will inflate her lungs again with a ventilator and do some testing to see if the lungs have shown healing or if they are irreversibly damaged.
if they have shown healing, then we can start working on getting off life support and into a rehab discussion, however long that may be for.
if they are not improved, it will mean her lungs are not going to be able to heal themselves and we are out of options besides letting her go peacefully.
we are optimistic and faithful that God will bring her thru this as He has already delivered a few miracles just to get her to this point.
please say a prayer for healing in her lungs and good news tomorrow
thanks
Jay
