I wanted to update everyone and let you know that Shailee has taken a turn for the worse. she is no longer responding to any treatments and they have done all that they can. she is totally oxygen dependent now and her lungs are beyond repair. she is not holding her oxygen levels well and she is dropping to levels of 1 or 2 and it is getting harder and harder to bring her back and she is having many episodes in a single day. we are going to spend the weekend with her as they don't think that she will be with us much longer. they wanted to put her in hospice and just make her "comfortable" but we don't want that to happen so we are working with the hospital on filing a DNR with Shailee. we don't want her to suffer anymore, and her health is only declining more each day. she has to constantly be sedated and dosed with morphine to keep her calm enough to live and that is not what we want her to have to go through anymore and after seeing her today we can tell a difference in her. she is no longer comfortable and happy. none of us wanted to see it come to this, but it is in god's hands and only he knows what is best for her. i will post again as soon as i have a chance.
