Monday night update- I saw Sammy again after work, and she looks a little better, relatively speaking. They are able to drain off more fluids, which decreases the swelling. They started her on some 'food' via a g-tube, and as of this morning, it was well tolerated, and they are increasing the amount. And, she produced a BM- which means her bowels are working. One more organ to check off the list. (Prior to this, she was given nutrition through an IV).Also, when I talked to my sister this morning (I haven't been to the hospital yet), she said Sammy was going to be given a longer acting sedative, as she was getting too reactive to things- which is a good sign! There have been some positive signs relating to her lungs- she is coughing a little bit, and there is less fluid in them. Still doing well with heart rate and blood pressure.

So, the prayers are working, and I am still holding out for a miracle as to her limbs. I will update you when I can.

My sister commented last night that she received some more PT emails- so, thanks for sending them, and keep it up!

Love,
Johanna and family
