9/14 update: Monday night, Callahan's right lung partially collapsed so they had to insert a tube in her right lung for now. This was the same type of collapse as the last one, pneumothorax, but this time it was much smaller than the one on her left side on Sunday. Although this is a set back, right when they put the chest tube in her right lung started re-inflating 🙌🏼Through Monday night she needed 100% oxygen, but this morning she only needed 60%. All signs are pointing that she is moving in the right direction after this set back. Also, her white blood cell count was elevated high on Monday so the medical team started her on COVID treatment just to be on the safe side in case it is more than bacterial pneumonia. They did this due to her testing positive for COVID earlier in August. Tuesday her white blood cell count went down which is another great sign of improvement. 

Our biggest prayer and hope right now is that her infection heals and her lungs strengthen so she can get taken off of the ventilator later this week or early next week 🙏🏼❤️
