Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Wasn’t sure if I had sent this . Sorry if it is a repeat. LOVE & H GRDMBEV [CYSTIC-L] Shana Thursday PM update Dear friends and family, Shana’s fever is lower, her white blood count is down, and her kidneys are working better, although still not at 100%. Today she became physically active enough to tear the pick-line out of her hand and was trying her hardest to reach her respirator tube to remove that. Thankfully, she was unsuccessful. She started to wake up mentally, but not enough to respond to commands. She had a panic attack and all of her vital signs went crazy. They had to give medication to calm her down, and she was back out like a light. The doctors stated that she will not be coming off of the respirator at least for a few more days since she still needs help breathing. The entire family is very grateful for all of your prayers and support. Also, the doctors stated that her chest X-rays are looking better each day, and they feel that she is headed in the right direction. Truthfully, the wait is getting harder each day, but I just keep trying to remind myself that patients is a virtue. Besides, since God is the creator of time and controls everything, I must conclude that Shana is healing exactly on schedule!!! Love, Kurt PS- If you want me to stop sending you these updates, please send me an email with “stop sending these” or something similar in the subject line. Thanks.
