Saturday February 21, 2009

Mom had another quiet day today. Moms white blood cell count continued to improve today. This evening they are moving her to an acute care facility so that they can continue to wean her off of the ventilator.

So, Dad, Melissa, and I (Josh), will be moving with mom to her new facility. We will once again set up our posts, just with a different view.

We all are very thankful for your continued prayers and support!

  2. Lisa,
    I hope your move goes well, and that you receive the same excellent care that you have received at Little Company of Mary. The devotion of your dear family continues to inspire me, you have not been alone for one minute of this journey. Then you have Team Lisa support as well--you are a woman who is rich with things that are more treasured than anything money could buy! Know that I am with you every step of the way.
    Love you lots,
    Julie
    P.S. Carol said to let you know that you are on the prayer list at her church as well!
