More Details
So here's an update on Jennie. Jennie has been off the sedatives for two days now and has not made any significant progress. She is in a coma due to the injuries to her brain. She is breathing on her own although she is still ventilated to protect her airways. She still has a feeding tube and is running a fever off and on. They are hoping to see some signs from Jennie to indicate that she is waking up. We would like to see a response to auditory commands or pain recognition. We also are looking to see her open her eyes. We are praying and hoping to see some response from Jennie and are grateful for all your continued prayers and support. Please Continue. Jennie needs all help she can get right now to come back to us.

Melise (who is 6 yrs old) overheard us talking about us starting our fast for Jennie. She said, "I want to fast to." I said, "Do you know what that is?" She said no. So I explained to her what fasting was and how it works. She said she wanted to do it. So we started our fast last night with a prayer. This morning she got up before us, and when I got up I asked her if she had already had breakfast, and she looked at me with this frustrated face, "NO, I'm fasting for Jennie." Jennie has been on our minds since we heard. We are so sad that Jennie is going through this. We all love her and are praying earnestly that she will recover from all of this. Thank you for keeping this updated!
ReplyDeleteYour mentioning of looking for signs that Jennie is waking up, or responses to auditory commands and pain raises a very important question. That question is, "That are the doctors tellng you about Jennie's brain activity?" What is the encephlagram showing? This is the important part of a person who has sustained brain damage.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any information in this regard?
I really hope these questions are not too much. I used to work in the Intensive Care Units of the old LDS hospital and these questions have been on my mind for more than a few days.
Hi guys, you are on our minds every day. We are coordinating things at the house through home and visiting teachers, so although I'm sure it's the last thing on your mind, you can know that it's done. The ward is so anxious to help with anything. We are praying, fasting, thinking of you and we expect miracles in Jennie's recovery, just as there were at the scene of the accident. Thank you for keeping us updated.
