Plan for tomorrow:

Skyler hasn't been able to get the fluid off of his lungs he needs to to be able to breathe ok, he is needing more support on the bi-pap today so they are going to take him down to the operating room tomorrow to place another dialysis catheter.  He will need to be back on dialysis for awhile again to remove this fluid.  They will send him back to the PICU intubated because first of all he needs it, and they want to be able to do some testing on him while he is sedated and on the ventilator.  They are going to do another MRI of his pelvic region and see if the bone underneath his wound is infected, also do another full body CT scan, and do some biopsies of a couple bumps be now has on his legs.  They are little hard bumps underneath his skin and are really tender to him, so they want to know if they are little balls of fungus.  They will keep him intubated for at least a couple of days, just depending on how he looks when he comes back and how sick he is. 

So here we go again, we are officially back at the beginning of this horrific journey.  I just cant believe he is going to go from talking and dancing again to being sedated and having a machine breathe for him.  Ugh!  I feel like I am suffocating, and seeing him like this again literally hurts me.

Crystal, my sister who has been following "kisses for Cami" told me about your son's blog. I know you don't know me but I just wanted you and Skyler to know that after reading how you both have courageously battled trial after trial these past few years, you have impacted my life and changed my perspective on how I view my own trials. I just wanted you to know that prayers on you and your sons behalf are being offered daily from Arizona. You both are amazing and we are praying for Skyler's recovery!
