Karis – more immediate care needed.

October 28, 2013

Please be praying. After some initial tests it seems Karis is in need of immediate care; her O2 saturation is to low and they need to do a procedure or operation of some kind tomorrow. They will do a diagnostic test by putting a catheter down from her neck into the SVC artery.
