Continued Improvement

This morning Lori looks better than yesterday and she seems to be more aware of her surroundings. Her temp, white blood cells, and blood pressure all are doing fine.

Items scheduled today:

  • A trip to radiology to remove the abdomen drain tube.
  • The neurologist will evaluate the CT scan performed yesterday to review the effects from yesterday's occurrence. However, the nurse stated that her pupils look normal today. Lori is definitely following us with her eyes around the room.
  • Dr. Armstrong will be in soon and hopefully will begin to wean her off the ventilator. This may take several days or more.

--Johnny, here. Lori's friend, Laurie, will fill you in today. I'm flying to LA for a few days for work, then back to Atlanta on Sunday. Thanks to all of you for your calls, emails, thoughts, love, etc. LORI looks good today. she's trying to talk which can be frustrating, since it's not possible with ventilator tube. Hard to leave her.

Thank you. my best to all of you. love, johnny.

Dear Patti and Shorty: Today's news seems good and how great that Lori is more alert. I hope the abdominal tube removal went well without too much discomfort. I know Johnny must hate to have to leave.

Love and prayers,

I just found out yesterday and I’m adding additional prayers from the West Coast. I can’t begin to imagine the strength Lori is showing – all the Sneeds for that matter. My thoughts are with you constantly.

Thanks for blogging, Johnny.

Hello Sneed family;

I just received the new of Lori's illness. You are an amazing family and once again you reflect the depth and strength that comes from your walk with God. He will carry you through this. Lori, you are such a beautiful young lady in so many ways and I have always admired your strength and determination. Don't give up now. There are so many people holding you up in prayer. Hold onto the promise that Christ is with you and will never leave you. Love to you all, Jo Leopard
