Sunday's update

No more breathing tube !!!!!! they took it out today about 3:45 and she is doing pretty good. She was very scared for them to take it out in act didn't want them to because of what happened last time. But she is doing good. She also got rid of an iv line and also the catheter. ( I really don't know how to spell all this stuff. anyway. She used to have about 8 or 9 medication pumps pumping stuff into her and now she only has 4 so that is better too! She will probably be in icu for another couple of days and then out to the main floor for several more days. She still can't eat or drink anything for a couple more days. Thanks for all the prayers they are definitely working ! She has been more aware that last day or so and is getting more weepy about being there and such. it makes me sad to have to tell her she cant' go home or eat but we'll make it thru. My kids are all being such troopers thru this all. I know I wanted them to learn to love each other but this is definitely NOT the way I would have chosen for it to happen! Love you all!! I'll post more pictures later. Got to get back to the hospital.

Trials have a way of bringing the family closer. You never wish for them, but there is much to be learned sometimes. The kids definitely realize how much you do for them and how much they actually love each other. It's the silver lining to an otherwise really scary experience. I am SO happy to hear she is finally on the road to recovery!

Karen- Your family is in our prayers. Troy came home from church yesterday saying Rachel was still in the hosp. I am sorry I didn't know before.
If there is anything we can do to help your family. Please let us know. I would love to come up & see her, but I have some flu crud & don't want to get her any sicker.
So please tell her she's in our prayers.
