Day 21

1/22/08

Last night, the nurses put Laurie back on the blood pressure medicine Esmolol because her heart rate increased. They stopped the pain medication drip this morning, so Laurie is now using the 72 hour patch for pain control. She remains on the sedation medication Propofol.

Tomorrow is Laurie's "belly button" birthday, so please write comments on this blog for her, or send emails to ljbaden123@yahoo.com or jbbaden@gmail.com. We will have a reading of the comments and emails in the evening. There is also a big card at the hospital to sign which we will also read.

Anyone is welcome to come up to the hospital tomorrow and see Laurie and read a card to her or just talk to her! We believe she really enjoys being read to! it appears to relax her! We hope to see you tomorrow!
