Thurs & Fri

Melinda is doing very well and is moving forward with each new day. The ventilator was changed to 5 pressure support last night and we have waited for this day to happen and we praise god. Melinda continues to not have any apnea since she was taken off of her sleep medicine and we are so happy is was not caused by the brain injury. Melinda is still sleeping well during the night and seems more relaxed. Saturday morning Melinda will start a 2 hour trial on breathing on her own and with each day it will be a little longer. Melinda's chest was x-rayed today to see if the lungs have cleared. Dr. Smith ordered Melinda's back and pelvis x-rayed on monday morning. Dr. Smith said we might be able to take the neck brace off. Please continue to pray for Melinda's full recovery.
