Day 6

01/07/08

Throughout the night mom had a low grade fever, but not too bad. Around 11 am this morning they attached a seizure detecting machine to her head. This is only for precaution because she is at a high risk of seizures. Once the machine detects any little bit of change they can give her a medication to prevent seizures. 

She is now not draining much blood from the brain, which is very good. The nurse practitioner talked to Wende and explained that they were able to get almost all the clots below the skull line with certain medication. This is a good sign! Wende also signed for her to get a tracheotomy tomorrow. This is a good thing and can help her in the long run!

Overall today was a great day for her. She has been stable and resting. 
Thank you again for everyones prayers and thoughts!

Thanks for creating this blog. It's a great way to keep us all informed on how Laurie's doing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

This verse means alot to me and perhaps it will speak to each of you:
Isaiah 41:10 (New Living Translation)
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
