FW: Libby Paul Update - Day 8 Part 2

Sorry if you got this again…I had an issue with my email today.  I have some good news coming right after this…

Hey Pray Partners,

Troy and Dorsey are having a great day.  They are upbeat and encouraged by all that is going on.  They are moving to their new room this afternoon and are ecstatic about it!  This is a little early for our normal part 2 email, but we need to get some very specific prayer requests out to you.  God loves details and especially detailed prayers.  He is intimately involved in our lives and is proving Himself faithful in answering even the most specific of prayers, so here are some more.

1.  Children's Mercy in KC has an available bed for Libby.  However, CM will not accept any patients that are a virus risk.  So here is the pre-requisite for them admitting her.  Libby has to have at least 3 bowel movements.  A minimum of 1 per day for 3 consecutive days.  She has had only a small one two days ago and they need her to do this so they can be sure everything is working right and there are no viruses.  Please pray that her systems would begin to work properly and regularly.

2.  Thank you so much for all of the offers for assistance with getting Libby home.  We have had so many offers of private plans, etc. that we can't believe it.  We double checked with the hospital and there is one restriction.  The flight has to be an air ambulance.  She can not travel on a commercial airline or via a private jet.  The most promising is a group called, Wings of Hope.  The problem is that there is sometimes a huge waiting list and the qualification process is pretty tight.  This is what we need.  Does anyone out there know someone personally at this or another Air Ambulance company that could help us?  I am not asking for a ton of people contact these companies.  What we need is anyone that has an inside track and could get Troy and Dorsey a personal introduction.  The case manager at the hospital is working with Troy and Dorsey on several options.  If you can help with this please contact me directly.  Dru Shiner (druandjoy@juno.com), with your contact information and we will get the ball rolling. 

3.  Libby is still very agitated.  This is actually getting worse.  As she becomes more aware of her situation, she gets more frustrated.  All of her requests and answers to questions are in the form of screams or yells.  She hasn't communicated in a normal tone all day.  This is obviously hard on the nerves for Troy and Dorsey.  Please pray for a calmness and peace to come over Libby and that she too would have patience in her current situation.

On a really cool note, Libby's big brother Mitchell (7) got to talk to Libby today for the first time.  He said how really sad he was that she got hurt and that he missed her.  She just began crying.  Dorsey said it was so sweet.  Please keep Mitchell and Duncan in your prayers as they are with family and friends here in KC until their parents get home.
