Medically, there has been no change. The process of trying to wean Mom from the respirator continues. The meds are the same and her vital signs continue to be stable with the blood pressure being higher than what it should be at times. After 10 days, Dad felt comfortable enough to go and see Mom. His illness has finally passed. I hope I will again will be able to visit early next week. Dad said there were no responses to commands today.

I was not able to get any summary of the doctors meeting today or even if they did. No new tests were done that I know of. The nurses on this floor seem very hesitate to give any information or opinions either in person or on the phone. They always say they will try to get the doctor if we have any questions.

I pray that the hope that is within Mom does not despair or darken but remains strong and vigilent praying onbehalf of her family and those she had given a measure of caring for or stewarding. The past five days of resting has actually been refreshing in that I've enjoyed praying for many people in my past, present and future that I had/have charge over and those God has reserved a special place in my heart. I pray this has been the case for Mom also.

Good night to all, and I'm thankful for the priviledge to bring you these updates every evening.
