Day 22

the surgery for ECMO was completed and mom has been on it for the night...so far it is working but they do not want to keep her on it for too long because it is a very risky procedure and the longer she is on it the higher thr risk of complications....they are hoping that her lungs are getting a little bit of rest so that she can eventually be put back on the ventalator

  12. You don't know me but I'm a friend of the Mislan family. We have many family members and friends praying for Micheline. God will hear the many prayers for her, the more the better. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this difficult time but you will be stronger for it. Micheline will get better little by little, just believe it and it will be. Just take comfort in knowing that many people that you don't even know are emotionally involved and praying for her!! All our love, the Van Weezep family and friends. xo

  14. Dear, dear Kate and Family: Adding extra prayers to those we've been saying all along. My son took the prayers to both his, and his girlfriend's Youth Groups over the weekend, so just as Kelly said above, there are many strangers keeping Miche and all of you in their prayers at this difficult time. Keep the Faith and never lose Hope. HE can't but hear us!!! God Bless You and thanks for keeping us all in the loop. -Tanis Wright & Family

    We are all praying for you and your family. You have not been far from my thoughts since this ordeal began. I know you can beat this Mich, just hang in there. How proud you must be of your children that they have created this forum for all of us to keep in touch and see how you are doing.

    Stay strong McEwan family, your mother is a very special lady and she will be home with you soon.

    Praying for you all continuously, Kathy Culverhouse
