Hopeful

After being examined by the plastic surgeon who saw lori when she entered Shepherd's ICU last week, lori found out that the two sores on her back have both improved, and with time, care, and good nutrition, she may be able to avoid having surgery. let's hope so!!!

The feeding through the stomach will continue for a while, but Lori is supplementing that by eating something at each meal.

Dr. Bilski says that he wants LORI to do 2 things:
1) increase the time that she off the ventilator (breathing on her own without help from the ventilator)
2) increase the time that she is in the wheel chair


love,
the sneeds

Lori amazes me with her strength and determination! I am always thinking about her, as is everyone. I can't believe how far she has come, and how amazing it is that she has parents and a brother to never for a second give up on her. I love y'all :)

Lori,
I have to admit, I'm spending as much time reading the comment section as I am reading your mom & the shortman's posts. I mean, you're cool and all, but nobody has this many friends. I began your recent journey praying only for you. Now I pray for you to get well and for myself to make more friends.
I know you're probably getting frustrated in there, but from everything I read and hear, you're moving forward every day. Keep your spirits up, and we'll be at the movies soon. Speaking of, I think I saw your brother on American Idol. Poor guy.

I'll talk to you later.
