DECEMBER 11–Back to the OR

It’s 11pm on Sunday night, and Caitlin has had to go back to the OR. Clotting is a risk with the ECMO cannulas through which her blood flows. The system is monitored constantly and a couple of hours ago, they discovered a clot. They clamped off part of the tubing to try and extract it, but that didn’t work so she’s had to go back into the OR to replace the cannulas. They are not meant to work forever.

It’s Sunday night and we’re coming into Mercury Retrograde and I’m asking anyone who is awake and reading this to pray for a hitch-free procedure.This kid has been through enough!

    Mary Anne & nick, I’ve done a little bit of research and I discovered (0n Wikipedia but I’m believing has to be its accurate)…

    Archbishop Andrea Carlo Ferrari of Milan is in need of a miracle to confirm his sainthood. Caitlin is in need of a miracle too so it seems like a perfect fit. Im going to add archbishop Ferrari to the prayers for intercession on Caitlin’s behalf. I pray it helps…

    “Blessed Andrea Carlo Ferrari (13 August 1850 – 2 February 1921) was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the Archbishop of Milan.[1]

    Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1987 and his cause of canonization still continues pending a second miracle attributed to his intercession.”

    Xoxo, Mj & Scott
