Day 16

1/17/08
Laurie's status today is about the same as yesterday.  She is receiving 50% oxygen and her oxygen level in the brain is 30.  Her heart rate is about 80 and they are still keeping her blood pressure elevated.  They have lowered her sedation a little, and she feels warmer to the touch than last night.

There are no procedures scheduled for today.

Laurie had lots of visitors reading to and praying with her.  We also prayed in the waiting room.  Thanks to Donna and BJ for the food.  Also, thanks to Jeff for being here almost every evening with Jessica and Craig to visit and play games.

When Brad was saying goodnight to Laurie, she seemed to respond when he said "I love you".  She half opened her right eye and appeared to mouth 3 words back.

Hi All: Thinking and praying for Laurie today, knowing it is her birthday next week. Would love hearing if you have planned any kind of celebration-- a reading of cards? Just know we MacRae's are all thinking about you and want to be included in anything special. Our prayers go up!!! Love, Kelly
