Remains Stable

I went by the hospital this morning to see Vicki and get the night-shift report from family members who stayed by her side. She was responsive this morning - opening her eyes and acknowledging simple questions. She's still heavily medicated for comfort. Fortunately she had an uneventful night and remains stable. Her temperature has dropped some and they have scheduled to remove the chest tubes from her left side today. Her labs are stable considering her condition. If things continue on this course we feel sure she'll be ready for surgery on Monday.

Thanks to all those who have left comments. They are read by the family every day. We look forward to sharing them with Vicki soon. This tragic event has pulled our family so much closer as we continue to strengthen one another physically and emotionally as well as through prayer. We are also praying for the young man and young woman also involved in the accident. Just because they aren't in the hospital doesn't mean they aren't feeling heart-wrenching pain as well. We are mindful of them and keep them in our prayers.

Thanks again to all those who continue to provide support through meals, childcare, visits, cards, etc. We could never thank you enough. May the Lord continue to bless you through your compassionate service.
