Sunday AM

Karen developed a higher fever overnight so they are trying to determine the source of that. We spoke with the doctors and with her continued weakness and now fever they are not comfortable removing her from the ventilator at this point. She is doing pretty well when they test her breathing without assistance but they are concerned that she would not be able to maintain that over a longer period of time right now.

She responds when asked questions but not initiating much communication on her own.

As we have said, recovery is going to be very slow but we will get there! Keep on praying for strength.

We are checking your updates each day, and we are praying that Karen will regain some strength and not be so tired at the end of the day. Hope the fever will not be a problem. William is feeling pretty good, but can't get too far away from the bathroom! Love to all of you.
