Lizzie back in Paediatric ICU

Dear friends, After 2 nights in the normal ward, Lizzie is transferred back to Paediatric ICU. Lizzie's O2 level has been dropping and went below 60 on several occasions, especially at night. The past 2 nights were a struggle for Elaine and myself as we took turns to watch over with Lizzie. Besides the lack of sleep, observing Lizzie's desperate attempt to breathe, O2 level plunging and several rounds of choking were very despressing for us. After seeing her O2 levels this morning, Prof Quek decided to step her back up to Peads ICU. Lizzie is back in Ward 46A, with a O2 tube into her nostrils to push up her O2 level. While we have the peace of mind to know that she will be better taken care of in PICU, we are also thrown off-track. There goes our hope to bring Lizzie back home this week (which Prof Quek thought was going to happen). We asked for your prayers, that Lizzie will be able to breathe without tubes, and that she will not desaturate or choke easily. Pray that God will heal her so that we can bring our baby home. Thanks for your prayers, Simon & Elaine
