Last night and this morning have been rough. Her responsiveness is not where it was yesterday. At 2am they did a cat scan to see if there was additional bleeding at the tumor site, fortunately there was not. The doctors keep assuring us the recovery is very slow and to expect ups and downs - especially since her surgery was so traumatic. We are also in the peak post operative swelling period which hampers her progress.
Please pray for the swelling to go down so that we can see more responsiveness. It is so hard to have a tough day after yesterday. All we've seen today is a right leg toe wiggle and a very weak right hand thumbs up.
Our Dad has had a hard time pulling himself away from his wife of 41 years. He spends every day and night with her on the couch/bed in Mom's ICU room. Here is a picture of us and Dad sitting on his bed. {Definitely not The Four Seasons or built for a 6 foot 7" man!}
Please keep the prayers coming, they're working!
Love, John, Kelly, Michael and Rachel
Dear Rachel,
ReplyDeleteWe went to church and lit a candle for your sweet mommy and prayed to the virgin Mary for a speedy recovery. May the Lord continue to watch over your family. Let your dad know that you are all in our prayers.

Let your Dad know that I can't believe he looks the same as the day we met ( maybe he is a little more blonde). And that he should be confident that his bride will recover in time.
ReplyDeleteTry to keep your spirits up. Always heard the 3rd day post op is a bad one. Hopefully thing will change for the better tomorrow. Continuing prayers
ReplyDeleteYour mom and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for keeping us updated on everything!
