A Trip Outside

- White Blood Cell count has come down a little which is GOOD. Still seems to be a little infection somewher.
- Fever still a bit of an issue. was UP, then with medicine, came DOWN
- Awaiting results from lung culture
- Less Sedation today. We felt that this was the most alert Lori has been the entire time. Got some smiles, but Lori was a little frustrated with her inability to communicate with us.
- With a double-wide chair / small Bed with wheels, Nurses were able to wheel Lori outside for 30 minutes today to get some fresh air. Unfortunately, Lori was mostly asleep. This was a test-run for the nurses. they want to try a routine with Lori everyday, including sitting her up to help with her Respiration.
- Changing the PICC line from one arm to the other today.

Thank you

Dear Sneeds:

We're still holding on to all of your updates and Lori's progress. So glad she got to go outside--my Mom would make me sit in the sun when I was sick--it always worked!

Keeping you in our prayers,
Penelope
