RE: Prayer Request / Updated 11/05
Kelly had another good day with the schedule of waking,they do it every 1.5 hours now and will let her sleep through the night.
She has a new neck brace,one that fit's better,for the next 12 weeks she will wear this one.
She will be on the ventalator for another 7 days then she will be moved to a new type of bed that encourages her to breath on her own.
My wife sent me a picture of her and it just kills me to see her like this.
But in my heart I know she will live and I hope she is functional.
Her Airborn days are over.
Here is a link to the picture.
Didn't want to direct post and offend anyone

If you have young people,let then see this,If it saves someone then it is worth it.
Thanks again everyone

I just talked to Karen
The truama doctor says she is improving faster than expected but dont start jumping for joy yet,we have a long road ahead he said.
The Phisical Therapits was in and did PT on her and the respitory Therapist was in suctioning her and making her cough because of the ribs she needs to breath deep.
She is moving some on her own despite being heavily sedated.
Thanks for the continued prayers.

Kelly is not improving so we are in for a long fight.
She will have surgery on Monday
They will do a trakiotomy (sp) and flush her lungs and put in some sort of mesh to help blood from clotting the drain tubes.
She is so strong.
The nurses did her hair today.
Here are the pics
