Some Good News and Some Waiting-and-Seeing
SORRY for the delay. we were all a little tired today.
- Occipital Cortex: We have to wait and see if there has been any damage to Lori's VISION. We hope to have more info tomorrow -- not definite answers, necessarily, but maybe more info.
- doctors did not perform MRI, due to possible complications with all of her tubes.
GOOD NEWS:
- most of lori's other numbers are looking good.
- Dr. Cummings says that we are one step closer to getting her out of ICU
- Docs will try to start slowly weaning her off of the ventillator tomorrow
- Temp is good
- Kidneys are good. the kidney doctor has "signed off"
- Blood Pressure is Good
- No blood transfusion today which is GOOD.
- White Blood Count is NORMAL which is GREAT
- Will remove drainage tube from abdomen tomorrow.
Lori was without sedation for about 6 hours today, but back on some sedation due to her very Lori-esque attempts to remove the tubes from her mouth. Other than Patti, Lori's the toughest woman I know ...and the coolest.
On the CD player, we played "midnight train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips, which Lori and I danced to when we were kids.
She smiled at us when we left her room.
thanks for your continued support.
Love,
johnny, shorty, and patti

Lori,
I don't believe that I've talked with you since high school but saw Gretchen Luke at a meeting tonight who told me that you were recovering. I am praying for your continued strength and speedy recovery. Take Care-- Grace

Yesterday afternoon shows... there is a dawn after the darkness.
we keep praying for Lori to get on an even keel, without so many ups and downs. It's hard to do even for all of us. We can deal with all this trauma better if we can balance our own highs and lows. Christ is in charge!! Let's focus on that and say,"Thy will be done." Christ Peace bewith you.Bo
Dear Lori, Patti, Shorty and Johnny,
