DINNERTIME UPDATE - JULY 12TH @ 6:15PM
Well, Brenda just called me. They just left the room because Laurie wanted to take a nap.
Brenda says that at 4:15pm they turned her over, lowered the respirator & raised her head off the pillow. Brenda said that the nurses exact words were 'her stats are perfect'.
At 5:05pm they took her off the respirator and had her try to talk. they told her at this point that once she coughs she'll get ice chips. (its the little things)
She talked a little bit but she REALLY wanted ice chips so she told the nurse 'Will cough for ice chips'...pretty much along the lines of 'Will work for food' huh?
She told Laurie that she had talked with me throughout the day and that i was holding down blog-duty, which made Laurie laugh. I intstructed Brenda to get get some dinner and that i would talk to her later.
Stay tuned,
Joanne

Joanne and Brenda,
again can not thank you enough for taking the time to update so often, really helps us feel like we are part of the helping process for her.
Laurie,
Hey glad to hear you look better already than the last time[s]. I am sorry to hear about the set back of the mechanical valve - that sinks. That may be from always giving away so much of your heart you did not leave enough for yourself!
Now the rough road to a level of recovery starts again. remember we are all in theory standing next to you cheering you on. So reach out and lean on whomever you need to laugh and cry. You deserve to be fustrated with the last few years.
Heres to looking forward to in a year having some pictures of you on that mountain forwarded to us to enjoy with you!
you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Deneen
