Melinda had a very good weekend. On Saturday at 11:00 am they turned off her ventilator to see how she would respond. The plan was to turn off the ventilator for a couple of hours and put her back on it and then repeat this each day for longer amount of time. Melinda did so well for those couple of hours that the nurse called the Dr. and he advised to leave it off a while longer to see if she can handle it. Well, here we are on Tuesday and she is still not back on the ventilator. PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD. Melinda is breathing on her own.
Today (Tue.) the doctors came by and were very pleased with Melinda. They said they were going to move her up stairs to a room this afternoon. MELINDA IS MOVING OUT OF ICU.
PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD. I asked Dr. Smith what Melinda will have to do now to qualify to go to Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Smith said basically she can go now but they are going to leave her in a room for a few days and make sure her lungs are strong enough and to watch and evaluate her more. The plan is to move her to Jim Thorpe on Friday.
We are truly witnessing one of God's miracles right in front of our eyes. Please continue to pray for Melinda and Jon. They are both getting stronger every day and I truly believe they will both make full recoveries. We thank everyone that is praying daily for them. Everone's prayers, cards, words of encouragement, visits, etc. has given us strength and kept us going. Our words of thanks just doesn't seem enough and we are humbled by the support that everyone has given. Thank you and keep praying, Melinda and Jon still has a long road ahead of them but they are going to get there. May the Lord bless you.
