Picking up where I left off after our last posting...

-4:30 p.m. Dr came out…another paper to sign. Laura needs another tube for more meds. Here we go again. Things hadn't changed for awhile. They have said, things will get worse before getting better. We are praying this is as bad as it gets.  

-7:00 p.m. Patti and mom Rock just returned from Laura's room. She's very agitated from the last procedure…the inner cranial pressure is elevated. No liver available yet. Still waiting to hear on the blood work.

Side note: Reminiscing here …Laura still holds the record at Lakeland High school for the fastest girl's mile…at 5:15! Just last month…Don ran a 5K…it took him 24:40.  Laura was one of those gals you look at and think…she's been blessed with so much. Intelligent, musical, athletic, beautiful, fun….outgoing…and we could go on and on! 

-8:58 p.m. Good news…the pressure has gone down to the lowest it's been all day. We are told brief visits and no stimulation. 

-10:41 p.m. Everyone has gone to get a couple of hours of sleep…we are camping out in the ICU. The pressure on her brain has gone down some…as have her liver numbers. This is good news.

Thank you for your prayers and comments…they are an encouragement to all of us…keep them coming!
