Miles Update

Amber is going to start writing updates on her and Tommy's blog, The Flinn Files.
And Tommy and Amber have a prayer request:
Miles is having a lot of difficulty coming off of morphine. Every time they get it lowered, he starts having a reaction; which includes very high heart rate, high body temperature and high blood pressure--all of which are obviously not good. In order for Miles to exercise his diaphragm and lungs so that they get healthy and strong enough to do all of the work they need to do, he has to be off of the morphine. Morphine sedates his body so that the ventilator takes over, and then Miles doesn't do his part in breathing like he should. (He's on a machine that will take over for him if he doesn't initiate or have a deep breath.)
Also, I got an email a bit ago saying the Drs. think Miles may have an infection...they were going in to do a spinal to run some labs/cultures. PLEASE PRAY.
