EVan rode a helicopter

Well bad got worse last night and Evan got to have his first helicopter ride and hopefully is last! At about 2:00 last night, they called the doc in and they did blood gas test. The doctor came and prepared us for the worse. He said once we got the test back we would determine a treatment plan but that we might have to be transferred to children's. After the test was done, evan was very upset so they let me hold him and sure enough he tore out his IV that took three tries to get. From that point on things just got worse. They determined it was the best option to send Evan to children's. The doctor said that evan was struggling to breath so much that at some point he would tucker out and they were not equipped to treat him if and when that happened. So between the time he pulled IV out and the helicopter came, they tried 5 or 6 more times to get IV back in. It was horrible!!!!!!! Finally, the pilot said they were five minutes out so the nurses gave up and just let nurses from children's do the IV once they arrived. Fortunately, they were able to get it in one try (praise the Lord)!!!

They loaded Evan up and we headed out. Let me tell you that our drive was the longest drive of my life. We are glad that evan is in such good hands and we know that God is an amazing healer. He is still continuing to labor as he breathes. He will get better and then worse, which is what they said would or could occur. At this point they are running more test because they aren't sure about the validity of the RSV test. They said nit would be at least 24 hours but regardless, his treatment is the same. We have no idea how long we will be here but we will be here as long as necessary to get our baby well. It continues to be hard to be away from Luke but I know he is in good hands. Karen is keeping him and my mom is going to take over tomorrow evening as Bert and Karen prepared to say goodbye to a wonderful, most Godly family member, Edith Williams. Please keep Glena Cruz, Linda Lane, and family in your prayers.

I will update again tomorrow or tonight depending on changes. Please continue to life Evan up in prayers and know that we are truly grateful and blessed by all your love, prayers, and support.
