Wednesday night

No significant changes throughout the day. She has been very weak and groggy today. They did sit her up in a chair/bed device for about 2 hours today. The intent is that by "getting up" a little she can begin to get stronger. Tonight she was sound asleep while I was at the hospital but seemed to be very comfortable. I think the sitting up wore her out.

I expect that they will try the breathing test again tomorrow but so far she is breathing ok when she is awake but is not breathing deep enough when she is asleep. She is also scheduled for dialysis again tomorrow.

Please pray for increased strength and improved breathing.

Rusty and family,
I am at Kelly's this week. I am enjoying my time here and so thankful that Wyatt and Kelly are doing well. I am checking the blog and praying for Karen and your family. What special, precious people you all are. Thank you so much for the updates and do not hesitate at all to ask for what you need--from God or from all of us who want to help.
Love,
Carolyn
