Slooowwww Progress

Lungs: Doctors drained fluid from left lung, in her room, using a sonogram for guidance--- 500 cc's (half a liter).
- Rolled lori outside for a little bit today. Hoping that the movement helps to strengthen her lungs.

Trach: Process of weaning Lori off the VENTILATOR is ongoing. Respiratory team has all sorts of tricks up their sleeves.

Temp and White Blood Cell Count: Temp spiked to 101 earlier today, but has come down. WBC Count is still high.

Good News: Feeding Lori via a Tube into her stomach is going well.

Thank you.

We eagerly check each day to see how God is answering all of these prayers being lifted up to Him for Lori and for all of you. We rest knowing He is in control and marvel at the way He guides the doctors to know what and when to do the things that need doing.
Love and prayer always..Buddy and Susan

I continue to check the website several times daily -thank goodness for this site where you can give us reports on Lori's progress and also where you can receive so many messages from people who love you so much. My thoughts and my prayers continue to be with you each day. I am sending you one of my favorite Bible verses: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" -
Proverbs 3:5. If I can do anything for you, all you have to do is call.
Love to all,
Brenda
