Latest Jennnifer Update

This came from Jill today. Let's keep her in prayer! Thank you. Loretta

Jenny is receiving excellent care are Butterworth. She is still in ICU.

She is still breathing with the respirator. She has regained consciousness but is being kept heavily sedated. She is very sick, exhausted and uncomfortable. When she is awake, she is aware we are there and can shake her head yes and no. She seems to be able to move her arms and legs but she is restrained so she does not disturb the tubes and IV's she is on.

The cause of the infection that started all of this is still unknown. It's a little like an episode of HOUSE.

She is able to receive visitors. However, the family is asking that for now, visitors wait until she is out of ICU. Because of the sedation, she does not remember much from one day to the next. We feel it is important now for her to rest as much as possible so that she can be awake for the Doctors to evaluate her.

While things are looking better, she has a long way to go, and it will be a long time until we know if their will be any lasting effects from the trauma her brain has suffered. The baby is still looking good

We are reading the words of love and support you are sending to her and she knows and feels it all. Your Prayers and love have helped so much to hold us together through this.

I will try to update again soon.

Love,
Jill
