some better news
Here is Sarah's update.
Hello Everybody, Just a quick update. We are still in LA. Christine is off ECMO and should be off the ventilator in a few hours. She is responding and can recognize me and Randy. She is answering yes and no questions and she is very mad that she can't talk. They are having to keep her restraints right now because she keeps trying to pull out her vent. I can't really blame her. Right now our problem is, our insurance won't approve transfering back to Utah. So she is going to surgery for a pacemaker/defibulator on Monday morning and then hopefully discharge on wednesday. Then we'll either fly or drive her home ourselves. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Kristy or Lupita can you please update David at work and let him know I'll call when I know we're coming home? Thanks again, Sarah Phillips

Help needed
I got this e-mail from Sarah on Friday night and feel I need to forward it to everyone. Sarah and her family needs all the love, prayers and support that we can give them.
Dear Friends, Early Thursday morning our oldest daughter Christine went into cardiac and then respiritory arrest. I was able to preform CPR within one minute and continued until Paramedics arrived. She is currently being cared for at Rady's Childrens Hospital in San Diego California as we were on a family vacation. She is currently in stable but critical condition. She is on a ventilator, ECMO, heavily sedated, and has just been started on TPN. The current plan is that she will be transfered to UCLA Medical Center tomorrow (Sat.) as they have the ability to better wean her from ECMO and possibly place her on an LVAD. This would make it easier to transport her home to Primary's. There are many people praying for our little girl and am asking for you to join us. For those of you who are LDS, our ward is starting a fast for Christine Sunday night at 8:00 if you are interested in joining us in that fast. Please let other friends know. I am only contacting people whose email addresses I have with me. Please pray for my family. Sarah Phillips
