Just some happenings of today- dad was the only one down today, but he was with her all day.
- She had a fever of 101 degrees earlier, but thankfully it went down some on its own.
- They found quite a bit of fluid in her lungs, which they were concerned about, but they have been draining them so hopefully it is not as bad now.
- As I said earlier, they wanted to try to wake her up today and remove the breathing tube for a bit. Early today mom's eyes were opening some, but she did not seem to be really awake. They decreased her sedatives, and throughout the day they tried several times to rouse her. Dad said her eyes were open a lot, but she was not responding to the nurses when they asked her to squeeze their hand or move her fingers, etc. She was squirming around a lot today, and seemed uncomfortable. But they have her on a lot of pain meds.
- They actually had to increase her ventilator settings because she was not breathing on her own as well today.
Although she is still looking good, today did not show the progress they were hoping for. They will keep trying to rouse her; dad says it is sad that they have to disturb her, but it is necessary. Hopefully they will let her sleep tonight.
The organization I mentioned earlier FOUND DAD A HOME TO STAY AT!!! So he is staying in Philly again tonight, at this couple's house. Thank you for your prayers about this- God sure answered quick!!
I (and hopefully the other three) are going down tomorrow after church.

Brian,
ReplyDeletePrayer is my vital breath, yet I find that, at times, all I can do is labored breathing. I want so much for Ruth to be whole and well, but instead she is safe and secure in the arms of her Savior. I, and my family, am praying for her recovery.
So glad your dad has a place to stay. Continued prayers for your mom and all of you. Thank you for the wonderful updates. Love, Sherri
