Day 9

Today we are going to pray for Seton’s lung health. The doctors have diagnosed him with chronic lung disease, part if this diagnosis is due to his inability to swallow and the risk of aspiration. We currently give him a breathing treatment and CPT (chest physiotherapy or percussions) every 8 hours, but when he gets congested (or sick like he was a few weeks ago) we give them every 3-4 hours, with a saline treatment in between.

This has improved over the last 10.5 months, when we first brought him home from the hospital we were giving him a breathing treatment every 4 hours, even throughout the night. Now if he is sleeping we delay the treatment until he wakes up. I want to pray that his progress continues and that we can stop the breathing treatments completely, because I can think of a million better (more fun) things to do with our time. J

¹⁰ In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. 

Job 12:10 (NIV)
