April 27, 2012...Prayers Needed!

We are going to try again to extubate Clayton today and we need lots and lots of prayers over the next 3-4 hours. We desperately need this to work! Prayers are welcome all day, but especially in the coming few hours as we attempt his extubation. Please pray really hard this works. We need this. Clayton needs this!

Couple of updates: Clayton had his chest tube taken out Wednesday afternoon. Also Zoe will not be extubated today after all.

Some people might wonder why this is such a huge deal after a tumor resection and some of you might already realize, but just to shed some light... The surgeon did remove the tumor in the abdomen, but he also looked all around chest cavity for any evidence of disease and anytime you open the chest cavity you open the possibility of complications with the lungs. However, it was a necessary precaution.
