Monday March 2, 2009

Mom had a good day today. Today they continued weaning trials throughout the day. In addition to four hours with just pressure assist, she had two hours on c-pap, which is basically oxygen flow only. In addition, Mom's white blood cell counts have continued to improve. We are currently negotiating with Blue Shield to find a location for her rehab.


Thanks again for all of your continued prayers and support!

  1. That's wonderful! A little bit at a time. Good luck with the insurance thing, not that it won't go well, but luck and prayers will be sent your way :). How aware is Lisa of what is happening? Tell her she is "Wonder Woman!" I miss her, hurry up! Just kidding, (kinda).
    Love and Prayers, Leslie

  7. My Dear Lisa and Family,
    I am so thankful for the wonderful news of how well things are going, albeit one small step at a time. My prayers will continue with the addition that Blue Shield will agree on an extremely high quality rehab so Lisa doesn't end up back at square one. I am believing that God will intervene, and I am making myself available to help out and be one of her advocates if you need me! (Lisa will love that she has "advocates", as they are dreaded in the school setting!). As always, thank you to Jim, Josh, and Melly for fighting with and for Lisa and keeping us informed.
    All my Love,
    a thankful Nurse Judy

  8. So VERY happy to hear of Lisa's steady improvement. It's incremental, but it's progress in the right direction. I'm sure you are asking folks for rehab facility recommendations - will visualize Lisa only needing to be there for a short period. I know she and you can't wait to be home. Do take care - We are thinking of you all and send our love and best wishes.
