Angela's Blog

This is the first minute I had to update....  Angela had a fantastic day.   No pain meds.   No sedation.   She is steadily improving. 

She gave Josh two more 'thumbs up' later in the day.  She is so connected to him and will do anything for him.   He is asking for open eyes and she will flutter....  we are so hopeful.

I think I already told you that her neck brace came off today.   She tolerated it well.  She can swallow.   She can cough.   She can stick out her tongue....all necessary for breathing.   YAHOOO  and praise the Lord.   The brace has remained off.   Never tell her I told you this but the little one may have developed a double chin!

Tomorrow should be her FINAL surgery.   Her left cheek has to be replaced with titanium.   Please pray that nothing else needs to be fixed once they get inside.   The doctors all talk about what might happen but no one knows until they go inside.   Fortunately they are using a procedure that should leave no scar.   Probably pain and discomfort but we shall see.

We know you are all with us on this journey and we know it is hard for you to honor the request to limit visits, calls, etc. We also hope you know how much we appreciate it.  

Please know that as soon as we can, we will have jobs and requests and sugestions on how you can help.   The doctors keep reminding us that this may be a long, long road.   We will need each and every one of your helping hands.   Thanks for helping right now by keeping them folded in prayer.   

All my love as I fall into bed.
