Tuesday ended with news that blood flow through her basilar arteries continues to go well so they will stop the daily doppler tests and take her off medication that dilates the vessels. They removed another PIC line leaving us with one issue left to deal with before we mover out of ICU and that is the pneumonia. We hope to have that handled within the next couple of days.
The doctors and nurses here at NW have been wonderful. They take time to talk to Sherrie and treat her as if she is family. Knowing Sherrie, she is trying to figure out how to communicate "spirit to spirit" just so she can know a little bit more about them.
I have been asked how our children are doing. Despite the emotional ups and downs, they (including in-laws) are all doing okay. They miss their mother and friend very much, but they have great faith that all will be well. We are fortunate to have such a great family. They have brought great strength to me over the last three weeks. Every time I am around them and their children I feel closer to Sherrie. They like each other, they tease each other and they honor their parents.

Ron and the entire Labrum Family,
ReplyDeleteThere are many of us who continue to be influenced in such an amazing way simply by observing you and how your family bond grows stronger by the day.
We are inspired by your actions and interactions with all the people you influence and send you all our Love and prayers.
We are "with you" on Thursday.
Please tell Sherrie that we are pulling and praying for her and her family.
With Much Love--The OBriens
We are still praying and won't cease. Thanks for updating so we can journey with you in a way.
ReplyDeleteWhile there may not be as much in the way of details to update us all on nowadays, it is always wonderful to hear from you all about what is going on. As minor challenges arise in our lives on a day to day basis I remind myself how Sherrie would love to be able to face those challenges & it quickly puts things in perspective for me. Every prayer I utter includes Sherrie's name!
ReplyDeleteLove,

My husband and I fasted and prayed for your family and especially Sherrie on Sunday. We are constantly thinking about your family and checking the blog for updates on Sherrie. Even our small kids don't forget Sherrie in their prayers. With Love, the Mellor family (Joe's sister)
