6/2/09 update

Melinda had a really good night and all her vitals were stable. This morning Melinda was very active looking around and moving her arms and left leg. Melinda can move her right leg but it is not very active. Melinda continues to receive her blood pressure, pain medicine and Tylenol.

Dr. Huff came in to see Melinda and said everything looks good with her vitals and changed her pressure support to 12. Dr. Huff said he is pleased with Melinda's progress. Physical therapy worked with Melinda today and it went very well.

Melinda was very active all day and in to the evening. Melinda seemed to be very agitated and uncomfortable and did not sleep all day. Around 8:00 pm Melinda's heart rate and blood pressure was high and she was breathing too fast. This really worries me. Melinda has a new nurse tonight that has not taken care of her before and I have faith but am worried that her blood pressure will get too high. I am going to call the hospital later tonight.

Please pray with me that Melinda's blood pressure and heart rate remain stable throughout the night and pray to give me the strength to be strong for Melinda.

  2. Christie, We are praying this scripture for you. Colossians 1:11 (New Living Translation)

    11 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,[a]

    It's HIS strength you have to keep hanging on to and keep your joy. the Bible says "The joy of the Lord is our strength." It's hard at time but trust me it is truth. We are still praying for full restoration for Melinda. Stay Strong, Your cousin, Cheri
