Talk to Her

Lori's had a couple of good days. Her temperature has been good. (White Blood Cell Count down to 13.9 which is better, but still needs to go down)

With some changes in medication, Lori has been the most alert since being in the hospital. Shorty was really thrilled seeing her Saturday. She's given us some very Lori-esque eye rolls and has been very talkative. She's not able to verbalize yet, but we're getting better at lip reading. can't wait to actually hear her.

Still partially on the Ventilator, but she's been able to breathe on her own for several hours at a time!! really excited about that!! Dr. Eaton, pulmonolgist, is encouraged. there is less fluid in the lungs.

Visitation is still limited while she's in the ICU, and we must still put on masks, gloves and some paper scrubs when seeing her. The pseudomonus infection persists and will continue to be a problem for a little while.

Thank you for all of your kind words and ongoing support---------

Love,
the Sneeds

Glad to hear the news. Don't think for a second that the prayers end just because she is getting better. Still praying and thinking about Lori here in Gulfport.
