PS, As you may be aware, we Bryants travel as an army when someone is in need, so we are good in that respect. All we ask for is prayer.
Well, what a time for an update… I appreciate the requests I get for another one, and to know how B is progressing, growing, and doing. Thank you. Today I simply ask for your prayers. Bentley is in the hospital in what I guess you can call Serious Condition, not quite as critical as yesterday. Yesterday morning, I found B lying in bed unresponsive. She appeared to have gotten sick in her sleep and aspirated. She was warm, breathing, and had a pulse. We did call 911 and brought her to the hospital. After a tumultuous day, the Lord’s hand on these healthcare providers has her moving in the right direction. Bentley is suspected to have been in Septic Shock. She has been intubated and physiologically supported through a recipe of blood pressure medications, sedatives, ventilator, and fluids. At this point things are looking up. A number of the meds have been weaned off. The paralytics and sedatives have been turned off or greatly reduced. As of this morning the rate on her ventilator is being weaned as well. Last night, a couple hours after turning off the paralytics, she woke up and is showing evidence of intact brain functions. She is still on some sedatives to help keep her calm, but we are very pleased with what we have seen to this point. I send this out to capture that small batch of prayer warriors not reached yesterday. Please throw up prayers for my sweet angel. She is one tough little girl. She is in great hands. I know the Lord has carried this team and guided their decisions in treatment. We are not out of the weeds yet but I pray today is a day of continued progress and healing. Thank you all!! She wouldn’t be to this point without all of the prayers lifted yesterday. Thank you again!
