We are very sad to report that Lexe situation has continued to deteriorate.  This morning she was unable to breath on her own and was sedated and put on a breathing tube.  All of her breathing is now being done by a machine.  Lexe has been chemically paralyzed and put on a cooling pad to reduce her core temperature.  It appears that the bacteria is now having a negative effect on her lungs.  Lexe's heart functions are also not so great right now with a resting heart beat of around 115-125 beats per minute.  Her heart is working really hard right now and is enlarged with some fluid in her heart sack.  We have been told that Lexe is in critical/stable condition.  The nursing and physician staff in the ICU are great and are giving Lexe the best care in the world.

We as a family are very worried and are praying for her to catch a break!  It seems that the Intensive Care Unit will be our home for some time.  Please pray for Lexe we all need her in our lives for many years to come.

  10. We are praying for Lexe and your family. We know you are getting the best possible care at PCMC. Can't wait for her body to respond to her antibiotics so that her lungs and heart can heal and she can back up to ICS! She's a fighter and we know she can beat this!
