URGENT

Dear Friends....Please, please pray for Olivia right now! This is what her mom posted on their blog a few minutes ago! "Olivia's not doing well. Her pressures have been lower and there have been problems keeping her oxygen saturations up. They tried her on a different type of ventilator and that did not help. She's back on the original ventilator with different settings. We had to make some very hard decisions this morning whether we wanted to put her on ECMO or not. ECMO is a heart/lung bypass machine. The entire ECMO team was up here and ready to go when she started showing signs of improvement. We then decided that the risks and possible complications of ECMO would outweigh the benefits. If she were to go on ECMO there would be a great possibility that she wouldn't come off. Right now, we are definitely not ready to let her go but we are relying solely on God's plan for Olivia. We are trusting in Him completely. She has shown some signs of turning around, but she really, really needs your prayers right now."
Oh Jesus, Please be near to our precious Olivia right now! Jesus, our hearts cry out to you on her behalf.
