Tuesday, June 23

Well last night my sister-in-law Julie spent the night at the hospital. She did not get any sleep, because mom was very restless during the night. She wants the tube out of her mouth.

We did meet with the Nuerologist today for quite a while and he answered alot of our questions. He was very helpful. He is amazed at the progress mom has made in just the 6 days. He said for her to come in here 6 days ago and to be almost not breathing and in a coma and for her to be at where she is now is fabulous! All I can say is the power of prayer is here!

Other than that, her vitals look great. She is very tired from lack of sleep last night, but once she wakes up, they plan to take that tube out!!!

I will update you later. Thanks for all your prayers.

Well the tube is out. And boy did she give us a good smile. She does however have a lot of flem in her throat and is trying to clear that herself, which is good. Nice strong coughs. But nothing seems to clear. So they are going to watch her close. They are giving her a breathing treatment to help loosen that better.

Updated 7:50pm:
Bad news, she is having trouble breathing so they had to put the tube back in. They are going to however use a smaller tube that won't hurt her vocal cords so bad, which are swollen and why she is not breathing so well, and give her some steroids to help the inflamation go down. Pray she has a good night.
