Oxygen Dropping and Apnea

Toby's MRI is scheduled for 8pm tonight. Just pray for him as he is going to be put completely under and have a breathing tube put in for the procedure. Pray also for the doctors as they look at the results that they might have wisdom about the next step.
Last night, after Toby's oxygen dropped a few times, the doctors decided to put him back on C-PAP. He is also still on a bit of oxygen. While on the phone with Carrie she had to remind Toby to breathe a few times. His respirations would drop to 2 or even 0 breaths a minute. She would stroke his arm and get him to breathe again.
The warming lights are off and so far he is maintaining his body temperature. Pray that that continues. His sodium also continues to stay up. The doctors are anxious to find out why his sodium levels were down in the first place. Hopefully the MRI will be able to tell them a lot!
God is truly giving them supernatural strength right now, but at the same time I know it looks like a tunnel with no end. Please pray for continued encouragement and strength as they trust God through this journey!
