God is always working to make His children aware of a dream
that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream,

a new dream that
when realized will release a new song, sung with tears,

till God wipes them away
and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts

Yesterday Craig's sister went to the hospital for what was supposed to be a same day surgery to place a new dialysis fistula, but things went horribly wrong. Just before the procedure started, she became very anxious and then went into cardiac arrest. The staff were able to revive her, but she was down for about 15 minutes before they could get her back. She is on a ventilator and is nonresponsive. They're running CVVHD to clear the anesthetic from her system. Her vitals are good. Her blood pressure was low yesterday, but the dopamine was off by the time we got here around 9 pm and she held it on her own through the night. Hopefully today we'll get some more answers, but with those answers tough decisions may have to be made. I'll update more later....we're off to the hospital again.
