GREAT DAY

- Dr. Cummings (our hero) says we are making progress. GREAT DAY.
- 3rd straight day of progress. Dr. Cummings says that "it looks like Lori is finally trying to get well"
- Probably will not do Tracheotomy to avoid complications with previous work done on her trachea. Hopefully, if things go well, Doctors will be able to wean her off the ventilator this week, which would be GREAT.
- Only on minimal amount of Blood Pressure Medicine.
- White cell count close to NORMAL which is GREAT!!
- Platlet count is up which is GREAT
- Cultures from the Belly fluids were NEGATIVE, which is GREAT. They are planning on removing the drainage tube from the abdomen.

There is still alot of recovery to go (weaning her off the ventillator could be tricky), but Lori is definitely making progress.

LOVE,
johnny, patti, and shorty

BAMO HERE. We are exhausted with all the good vibes we have sent and now today the news looks REALLY GOOD. But we are under no illusion. Lori did this on her own with her wonderful family by her side. We are all sleeping better here in Gulfport. LOTS OF LOVE.B.A.M.O

Hi there Sneed family. I've been keeping up w/ Lori's progress through Mom, but now I can check for myself - so awesome.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers each day, Lori. You have such an amazing strength - more than any of us can imagine. I know it is getting you through this tough time.

Thanks for taking the time to keep all of us abreast of Lori's improvements. Blessings to you all.

The most recent news is indeed an answer to prayer and determination by Lori and all of the Sneed family. When Lori is awake and ready for company, we'll all have to have a "jam" session to celebrate her life and health. We love all of you,
Donna, Joe, Greg and Jennifer
