Laurie's oxygen level to the brain appeared to be fluctuating downwards, so the doctor ordered another CT scan with contrast dye. The CT scan would see what has changed since the last scan and determine if the oxygen probe had shifted and was giving proper readings. After the scan, they determined that the probe was probably not working properly. Also, the probe over the part of Laurie's brain that had suffered a stroke. The doctor placed a new probe back over a part of her brain that was still active and we waited to get new readings.
Jessica notified us late that night that the oxygen sensor was reading 40, which is a very good and encouraging number.
I know Laurie also enjoyed Nina's visit and readings. The family also really enjoyed Nina and Terry's card. We love you too!! We also love all the well wishers, family, and friends that are praying and visiting with Laurie.

"Lord,please give me the Grace to always be humble. To praise you when life is good and not troublesome. To always thank you. To fearlessly and confidently ask for your help when life becomes hard and uncertain. To always trust. To always surrender. To always walk in your peace and righteousness. To always serve you and my fellow mankind. Direct my thinking. Direct my life. Stay with me. Use me. Thy will be done. I am wiling, but I am weak. My weakness is Your strength. I give you my heart, soul and mind. Walk with me always...and my spirit will be exactley where it needs to be."
Stay strong in Him.
Christ's Peace
