"For the first time I am typing this with a smile on my face. The pressure in Nettie's brain for the past 2 days has stayed very low (between 2 & 10). And most importantly, she is keeping it down on her own with minimal assistance from medications!!!! Her fever has been staying down around 99-100. Her blood pressure is stable. She is moving her hands and legs, and seems to respond to family members. They are weaning her from the heavy sedation and all her numbers are staying where they should. All in all, a very good couple of days."

I don't consider the needs for prayers any less, in fact, as she continues to improve, all sorts of new prayers will come up. It's also a joy to see how eagerly my co-workers have pitched in to help with everything from food to money to gardening help. I do truly have a crowd of caring and loving people I work with, and anytime we grit our teeth over such-and-such or this-and-that, it helps to remember what a giving group of people do surround us.
