The past few days Elizabeth has had episodes of gagging and has thrown up some of her meds a couple of times. She has also had random temperatures (we call it a temp anytime she gets 99/100 range since her temp runs low and the steroids mask real temperatures in her case). The temperatures will come and go and there has been changes in her breathing, so they haven't been very concerned. But tonight we asked for them to just do cultures just to be sure there isnt some infection starting. So we will see if anything grows from the cultures. As for the gagging/vomiting, there is no real indication of why. We arent sure if her stomach is irritated but she only gets a few meds in her stomach the rest of her meds and the small amount of formula all go straight into her intestines. She has needed phenergan the past 2 nights to stop gagging and be able to rest. So basically she is the same from a breathing standpoint, but pretty much uncomfortable and pitiful.
       We would like to say a big thank you to my cousin Dava, Middle Valley Church of God, and everyone who participated in and attended the gospel singing tonight. We would also like to say thank you to my Nashville hairstylst Chris and his daughter Keegan who for her 11th birthday shared Elizabeths story and donated gift cards to us. And most of you know I am in the Navy Reserves, this weekend the Reserve Center was authorized to wear civilan clothes instead of  their uniform with a donation to the Elizabeth Jetton Trust.  We are so grateful to be surrounded by awesome, caring people! We continue to feel loved, and supported during this difficult time.
