Encouraging News
Hey everyone this is Camille, Lori's cousin, and her Aunt Beth. We are here this week visiting/helping with Lori. Lori went into the ICU last night so the nurses could monitor her while she was off the respirator. When we went to see her this morning the doctor told us she did fine throughout the night without her respirator. This was very encouraging news because that means she is no longer dependent on the respirator. Every nurse that came by today was so pleased to see that Lori was breathing on her own. Lori is in good spirits and wants to talk to us so much but she just gets exhausted so easily.
Another constant battle for Lori is nausea. The good news is that she is hungry, but her stomach has shrunk so eating solids is difficult. The doctors say this is a common side effect for her situation.
Lori thanks everyone for sending her cards and pictures. She wants everyone to know she enjoys them and thanks you for keeping her in your prayers and thoughts.
