We've grown weary and worn down. Maggie has had an okay day, but not a turn-the-corner kind of day that we'd love. She had about 10 hours of "drug holiday" from her paralytic medicine. She's on her back, on the ventilator (at a pretty high rate) and still very sick.
As you might expect, we are tired of watching without assurance that Maggie will be okay. We have held closely to our faith and to prayer, but it has just been so hard.
We need a very good night and day. This holding pattern is gruesome.
Please pray for Maggie to make it.

Your little Maggie has a lot of fight in her. Quite amazing for one so little who has been through so much.
Praying:
-that God will fill her with His strength
-that Maggie will be able to start getting rid of the stuff in her lungs
-that you will have a good night and a good day tomorrow
-that you will soon see that "turn-the-corner" day
-that you all will be renewed in body & spirit by our loving Father.

Whitney and Andy, one of the things I have appreciated so much about your blog is your honesty. Your faith is genuine, meaning it's sometimes strong and sometimes weak. You get tired, you get frustrated, you rejoice and you share it all with us. That's the kind of faith I read about in God's people through the Bible. He has always been with those who cling to him and I believe he's with you now. I am continuing to pray for Maggie's total healing, marked progress right away, and your strength and comfort and rest.

I am praying for Maggie, and for you.
Praying consistently. God loves you.
Ryan and I are thinking about you guys and praying often. Many other prayer warriors at our church have began praying for Maggie as well. God is mighty and God made your little girl a fighter. Praying for healing and rest for you two as well.
Praying for a better night and a good day tomorrow. Maggie and
your family have been in my thoughts a lot today. Praying
God will allow you to get some
rest and that Maggie will turn
the corner and start making good
progress. God Bless your family.
I know it is very hard (believe me, I do), but just try and take it one moment at a time. Every moment that she is here, is a moment of HOPE that she will make it. As long as she is here and with you, there is HOPE. Don't give up; look at each moment that she is breathing as an opportunity for her healing. Praying with and for you.
Love,
Monica Miyashita, Mom to ^Liddy^, now watching over Maggie : )
