6/30/09 Tues. & 7/1/09 Wed.

Melinda is doing really well and all her vitals are staying stable even with all the moving, rolling and getting up. Melinda is awake and very much alert of whats going on just can't tell us yet. Melinda's blood sugar has been normal the last 2 days and this shows her body is healing. Dr. Huff has changed Melinda's pressure support settings these last few days and she is at 7 and doing great! At 12:00 tonight Melinda will be down to 5 "Praise God". Dr. Huff said they will see if Melinda can totally breath on her own and will start doing trials until Melinda can breath on her own for 24 hours and this could take several days. Melinda has not had any apnea spells in the last 3 days and this is very good news. Respiratory said Melinda is handling the changes on the vent and not having any problems breathing and everything looks good. Dr. Brown has stopped the antibiotic for Melinda's lungs and her lungs sound good. Melinda is sleeping peacefully through the night and mornings and getting lots of needed rest which means I am getting some rest.

Please continue praying for Melinda to keep fighting and the medical staff that is treating her. I am so eternally grateful and thank the lord for all the love and support we have received and all the prayers... thank you! God Bless yous!
