6-8-09

Melinda had a good, restful night last night and day today. All her vitals looked good and her oxygen level was up so they changed the ventilator from 60 percent to 50 percent and her oxygen level stayed good all day. Melinda had her cat scan and pelvis x-rayed this afternoon but will not hear anything until tomorrow.

After Christie checked on Melinda this morning, her and Alecia went home to take care of some things and for Alecia's softball game. Mema and myself stayed to be with Melinda. I am glad Christie finally got away for a break, even if it is just overnight. It is a well needed break that she needs more than she realizes.

Melinda's potassium level was a little low so they gave her some potassium this morning and this evening. Her blood sugar level has been good all day and did not need any insulin today. Melinda rested peacefully most of the day. This evening she had a little coughing fit and the nurses changed her position in bed and she almost immediately went back to resting and sleeping. The nurse said that must have been her way to tell us that she wanted moved.

Please continue to keep Melinda in your prayers and God will continue to heal and bless her.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

  2. Praise God for His goodness! I am still praying for your family, Melinda's caretakers and therapists. God bless you all. Is there anything else we can do here?
    PLEASE let me know if we can...
