This morning mom looks about the same as she did last night. This is really awful and no way to live. She's so swollen from all the fluid she's retaining. She's been awake a lot because her blood pressure has been low so they can't sedate her as much as we'd like. However, her BP is a little higher this morning so they just increased her sedation. Mom said she would like to sleep more. Each time we visit she wants an update of where everyone is and how dad is doing. She would like music so when dad comes in a few minutes he's going to bring some of her favorite CDs and a cd player. Dad did come and spend the night with me last night but he forgot his mask-thing for his sleep apnea so he didn't sleep that well. He's going home now to his house to get a few things, including his medication.
I'm hoping to speak with the doctor as soon as he's done in another ICU. His notes this morning said that her Xray was "slightly worse" than yesterday.
Thanks for praying for us. Pray she'll be able to be comfortable and peaceful and that we'll have wisdom as we make different decisions....and for Dr. Boyce, her doctor.
I'll post another after I talk to Dr. Boyce.
If you want to comment or leave a note for me to read for her, please leave it here instead of emailing me directly, if you can. That way I can just print it all out at once.
Thanks,
Shea

Hey girl! Could you update your blog link for me to: http://thewreyfords.blogspot.com/
I got a cuter blog! :)
Good morning from the Longs. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knoweth them that trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 We are praying that you all can trust Him the next few days and let the Shepherd carry you along. We love you all and are constantly bringing you before the throne of God.
Tim, Deborah, Mary, Laura and Sarah
