Mom's Update

Courtney is once again sitting in the chair. Her lungs have improved and the ventilator settings were turned down again. She has been breathing on her own with less and less support each day.

Since the 2nd chest tube was inserted the elasticity of her lungs has improved. Out of a possible rating of 50 Courtney was only at 17 5 days ago. She is now at 37 out of 50 -a big improvement as she continues to be weened from the ventilator.

Courtney received a new medication today for muscle spasms - although this makes her drowsy and we miss her alertness we know that she is much more comfortable.

Once again God continues to answer our prayers and we look forward to her coming off the ventilator soon. We pray that God will provide another miracle healing of her brain so that she may be restored to full health.
