Anne Marie Dutcher Survives Initial Shock Of Removal From ECHO, Continues Fight For Life

Afternoon Updates: "3 of 3: Overwhelmed w/gratitude for all prayers, texts, FB messages, etc. We read them all; hope to adequately respond to each some day.

"2 of 3: Fruitless, draining to blog each peak + valley on roller coaster. Nutshell: dread this morning, joy now, coaster ride continues.

"Anne Marie update 1 of 3: She came off ECMO and survived. Will blog more when we have time and energy. But it's a roller coaster ...."

Update From Brandon Dutcher: "Had beautiful worship service, including baptism http://bit.ly/3icgMY in Anne Marie's room. Please pray that God will preserve her life #fb 9:08 a.m."

Brandon's post from Tuesday: "Twice today Anne Marie came off ECMO (heart/lung machine) for 10-minute trial runs. Neither time was particularly successful. Nevertheless, the ECMO chickens have come home to roost (the complications now outweigh the benefits) so tomorrow morning she is coming off ECMO for good."
