Sunday
Breathing tube out again as of about 5:00 p.m. today. She coughed up only a small amount of blood all day and "all the numbers" (its always about the "numbers") looked good, plus when they listened to herm she didn't have a rattle sound to her and the last chest x-ray looked good as well. The prayer request is that she will be able to maintain on her own, cough and take deep breaths. One of the issues facing the doctor was whether to leave it in another night, in which case the better chance to continue to irritate the infection, or take a chance that she can maintain her own and take it out. All of the doctors agreed to move ahead and take it out. The good news is that she claims that she is hungry.

We love you Rachel. We pray that God will give you the strength to breathe on your own and that your infection will clear. Grandma and Camden
Rachel. Get better soon. Football season is just around the corner and that is when I can finally talk your Dad into coming to my house. See you soon!
That is wonderful. What does she feel like eating - we will bring her whatever she wants from wherever she wants on Wednesday, just let us know! We'll keep praying that she will be able to maintain her airway, take deep breaths and cough! Take care Smith family! See you soon!
