Chelsea's bloodpressure is not stabilizing. The doctor said that she may not make it through the night. My wife and I are going to her parents house to pray through the night. Jehovah Jireh, we ask you to provide...

We March On
May 7, 9:15 AM
Chase is doing well so far. The doctors tried to extubate (take him off the ventilator) him, but he just didn't respond well. They will try again next week. He's been off all the blood pressure medicine for 24 hours and they'll begin what they call "trophic feeding," 3 cc of mom's milk will be given every 3 hours. Let's pray & hope that his tiny little tummy can process it.
Charissa is still up & down on her blood pressure. Nothing new here. Seems that the hydrocortisone helped a little but not as miraculously as it did with Chase. One bit of good news, they lowered the pressure on the ventilator, which means that her lungs are getting stronger.
Both Chase & Charissa will get another head ultrasound tomorrow.
Chelsea is not doing well and all our tears have been spent on her. We don't know how much more we can cry and pray to our Lord, so we ask you to pray & cry for us; please be our strength. Yu Ran's parents, my sister, and brother-in-law have been an enormous help to us these past few days, and we thank God for wonderful family. The most difficult part is to see her lying on her back all swollen, now up to 2 1/2 times her normal size & to see her right toes all black. She was doing the best out of all three of them. She was off the blood pressure medicine first, she was about to come off the ventilator, she had already her first trophic feeding. But then an infection ravaged her body & in the course of a few days, she's.... Lord have mercy on her.... But our faith does not waver, if you are willing Lord, please heal her....
Firmly in His Hands,
Young, Yu Ran, Chase, Charissa, & Chelsea
