Good Day

Today has been a good one with little steps of progress. Em's fever is gone, the new central lines are back in and working well, she is only using pressure support on the vent so she is breathing on her own, they have slowed her sedation drip, and she has been very alert. All in all, a very good day.

They are still taking things rather slowly and want to keep it that way so there are so sudden reactions. Please pray for a smooth path and that she does not have anymore setbacks to coming off the vent completely. She has her eyes open and is able to answer questions and communicate some but is still not quite back to herself yet. It will take some time for everything to come together just right. Keep praying.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.


Lord, in your mercy, straighten and smooth Emily's path.

Great news-definitely an answer to everyones prayers.
Give her hugs from us and tell her we love her.
We are praying for straightened paths and no more set backs so her body can begin to get stronger.
We love you Em-and are so proud of your strength and fight but most of all your faith in our Lord. In Him, susan and wes
