Courtney has pneumonia for the 3rd time. It's not surprising given that her lungs were so badly damaged in the accident - but frustrating nonetheless.
We are relieved to know what the source of infection is and she was started on antibiotics yesterday.
Doctors have told us that many rehabs will take patients after 1 or 2 days of treatment as long as they know they are stable. We'll wait and see.
Because Courtney had so many tests yesterday there wasn't much going on. She did allow me to open her mouth wide - the first time she's let anyone 'in' and she stuck out her tongue a bit after much prompting.
I told her she could feel free to stick her tongue out at anyone that is doing anything she doesn't like!

Diane and Craig, Les and I are torn between being sad that Courtney cannot be moved yet, but glad that they found the pneumonia so it can be treated. We pray each day asking only that God sends what Courtney and the family need.
And as Brian said, the transfer to rehab will be on Courtney's... and I believe, on God's schedule, not ours!
Strength to all the family, Lynne.
