Prayer request for Baby Kaelan

My youngest three came down with the croup after a Halloween party last week. Baby Kaelan has seemed to be able to turn the corner on this. At has been a week now and she is having respiratory problems. Monday, I had to clear her airway but since she did not stop breathing there was no need for resuscitation. Since birth, she has had a narrowed airway and an issue with her airway flopping closed. Over time she's improved, but with any respiratory virus / infection her strider, grows worse. Strider is a snoring type sound that originates when the airway is interfered with... The problem with the floppy coupled with it being narrowed is that she is not taking enough oxygen and is not eating because it takes so much breath to manage feeding and breathing. HARD. Please pray for her and the strength she needs to eat. If she loses too much weight we will have to place her back on a feeding tube and most likely she will have to hospitalized and this makes her weak. It's a catch-22. In the end it is effective but, man it takes so much out of her and there are a slough of new complications we have to be conscious of. Ladies, ...families, ...all who read this... please please pray that God will heal her and make airway open and stretch to its right proportions. Please pray for a complete healing. Thank you so much for your Godly prayers.

Praise be to God Almighty and our Savior Jesus Christ...!
Last night, Baby Kaelan slept through the night, which is unusual for us. We all were able to sleep for the first time in quite awhile and typically, she wakes at dawn, but today, she slept in. When she woke, her breathing was clear... we could not hear any strider. No more raspy breathing or speech. Her sinus' were clear. She has not been eating well and lost weight, but this morning she had 2 ounces of rice cereal and a Gerber (plastic container) of Applesauce... and all without any breathing problems... no gasping between bites. She went down for her nap and drank 6 ounces of formula comfortably. No breaks in-between. She is still 100% clear.
***As a postscript... she took 2 more bottles of 4 ounces each and ate 3 ounces of homemade chicken noodle soup as well as 3/4s of a hot dog with cheese, banana and a piece of pumpkin pie amongst as many as that little child could put down!

Baby Kaelan has received, by the grace of our loving God & Father the saving
and healing power of Jesus, our Lord & the Holy Spirit! We praise God.
We glorify His name! Words cannot suffice to describe how good He is to us!

Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for her and us. God has so much to give and He said, "If you abide in Me, ask anything and I will give it to you." What a wonderful promise... if we will abide. How wonderful!!!

We would ask for you all to please continue to pray for that complete physical healing of the structure of her esophagus and airway & please continue to hold our family up as well.

In His sincere love,
Ron & Cortney Kelleher
