Monday Night

Well, i did not get to see much of Molly today as I traveled home to take care of things there. Believe it or not the bank, DP&L and others want our money too, lol! Anyway, Molly had a good day even though I was not there. She continues to make progress and there is a chance she may get off the ventilator in the next day or two. While this is awesome news, it does concern me, I just do not want the Docs to go to far to fast, but I trust there judgment, but please pray for them to make the right decisions at the right time. They are also stopping the "mild" dialysis tonight to see how she tolerates it, they beleive her vitals are strong and will do well. this means that every few days she will need regulary hemo-dialysis until her kidneys wake up, so pray that she tolerates this well and her kidneys start functioning so she will not need the hemo. She was placed on a special bed today that they use for recovering burn victims. This will help support her better to reduce the skin breakdown and also be benificial for her legs and feet. They are still a major concern as they are bleeding and need changed everyday. This is very painful and right now her sedation helps to keep her from feeling the pain, but they are reducing the sedation so she will start feeling the pain more in the next few days. Please pray for her pain. They have found a pulse in all the extremeties, Praise God!, yet several toes and fingers are still a concern in that they had went a long time with out blood flow, so continue to pray for her to be able to keep them all. Also along those same lines, there is a good chance she will need some plastic surgery and skin grafts on her legs so continue to pray that her skin on her legs will be able to recover on their own and not need the graphs. Another answered prayer is her lungs continue to clear and are looking very very good. Keep praying that they continue to clear and that we do not have any backsliding as the vent and being bed ridden can cause a different type of pneumonia that they may need to address. She is showing signs of her liver starting to repair itself, this is great news, thank God! but keep praying until we know for sure. She continues to show some alertness and is "fiesty" as the nurses put it, this makes it difficult for them to provide care, but is also a blessing that she is fighting and is strong. (Of course this is not news to me, I've known that for a long time.) In general, Molly is making incredible progress and I know it is due to the grace of God and countless prayers around the world, Keep Them Coming! Prayer Update: This is were I know for sure people are praying for Molly: South Carolina, Florida, Texas, California, Washington, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Quebec Canada, Ontario Canada, south Africa, Dublin Ireland, China. I believe and feel that there are over a million people worldwide praying for Molly and I. I have come to understand the feel the power of prayer, in that I have not felt the first minute of fear, anxiety or worry since praying for the wisdom and strength to make the right decision about Molly's care. since I told Holly, the RN at Good Sam "send her to Michigan" I have had peace and I truly know without doubt that Molly is going to be OK and fully recover with no long-term affects from her ordeal. God Bless You all and keep praying and sharing with each other on the comments. More tomorrow after she has another day of progress!
