Dear family, friends, and friends of family and friends,
We are sending a short email to ask for those that are praying for Bracey to specifically ask God, if it be His will, to allow Bracey to breath stronger and more easily on his own, so that the doctors can take him off of the ventilator and stay off it.
Today they proceeded to take him off of the ventilator but we could all see that he had to work too hard for each breath that he took. They assume that his trachea, windpipe, is swollen so they put him back on the ventilator in order to let the swelling in his trachea go down. In addition, they are giving him a type of steroid to aid in this.
We feel like this has been a step back in his recovery rather than moving forward. We feel like we are on an emotional roller coaster. We know that God has something very special in store for His precious little child. Our faith is truly being tested but we are sticking close to God and trusting Him with our precious baby’s life.
We are praying that God will allow his trachea to heal, and allow Bracey to be able to breath on his own with greater ease. Thank you all so much for all of the continuous emails. We look forward to reading them every day.
In His Hands,
Torrey and Ang
