Too fast too soon

Well, they tried to take Andrew off the vent today and had to put him back on within 15 minutes. He is not ready to breathe on his own yet. It is a fine line that the doctors walk. They don't want to push him, but they don't want him to suffer life-long difficulties because of the interventions they are using. His lungs are at risk for damage because of the vent and his liver is having problems because of the fluids they have to give him because he can't eat. Please pray that he won't have long-term difficulties because of the medical interventions they are having to use. One of the doctors stopped by today and said his progress will be in small steps. He gained weight again today. We are still praying he will get rid of his excess fluid on his own without medical intervention.
