Day +68, day 6 on vent

Just wanted to touch base since my last update last week. Leigh is
still in critical but stable condition.
We had a set back on Friday when a rapid response team had to be
brought in to stop a crash. She recovered well. They put her on 100%
vent support for the rest of the day. Once her sedation and pain meds
balanced out she had a very nice and rest full weekend. Today she has
been moved down to 80% vent support, so we are moving in the right
direction. This is not a situation where all will be better by the end
of the week. We are being told weeks to even further for her to be
able to come off the vent. They will monitor her reaction of lowering
of meds and the oxygen level daily. We are expecting a slow but long
recovery. Time will only tell. We are limiting her visitors to keep a
calm and quiet environment in her room. We thank you all for your
ongoing prayers, thoughts and well wishes. I read her all of the
return emails and cards we receive. It really helps. The power of
people are amazing. Please keep putting her name on prayer lists and
pass this along to anyone who likes to send positive energy to a person
in need. I’ll do my best to keep you updated on a weekly basis if not
sooner. The rest of us are hanging in there. Sam is probably the
strongest of us all. He is amazing and his exact words on his moms
condition are “dad, I know mommy will get better and pull through she
is a fighter”.
With that I will be in touch soon and keep sending the positive healing
vibes Leigh’s way.
