Sat 9/25

No major updates for today. Our surgeon told us yesterday that any day that something bad doesn't happen is a very good day. We know that in our minds but our hearts wish for more progress. This is day 8 on ecmo and from rounds this morning, it sounds like there are no plans to try to come off in the next 48 hrs.

As you pray for Lalo, please include the 3 other babies at the hospital that are on ecmo. One of the techs the other nite told me that this is only the 2nd time ever that all 4 ecmo machines have been in use at the same time. They actually have 5, but for a safety measure they always keep one as a backup. Scary to think about what happens if another baby needs it. I know what's now at the top of my list for what to do after we win the lottery.

Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, love, support and help. We feel incredibly fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Not to mention, incredibly lucky to have such great doctors and nurses.

Keep praying for little Lalo's kidneys, they seem to be what's holding us back at this point.

Sarah & Lalo
