Tuesday Update

Lauren has been doing fairly well today. We are still waiting for her to become more responsive. She does open her eyes when the nurses turn her. Mark stayed overnight at Bruce and Kristen's and Gio and I slept in the room with her. When Mark came in this morning, Gio and I went down to the cafeteria for breakfast and brought something back for Mark. Bruce and Kristen both came to see her this morning. Bruce had been on-call all night and went home to sleep. Kristen was working in the pre-op holding area today which is in the same building as Wo is. Mark stayed with Lauren while Gio and I went to Bruce and Sis's house to get showers and rest a bit. While we were gone, he showed her some YouTube videos and read all your nice comments to her. When we came back, Sis was already here because she was done with work. She said Dr. Sonnenday and Satish stopped by and thought Lauren was doing well. Mark and Gio left to go home and work for a few days before coming back up. I know that will be so hard for them to be away from Wo, but life has to go on. I think it will be good for them to focus on other things, too. Kristen is sitting next to me in a recliner taking a nap and Lauren is still taking the longest nap ever!!! I wish she would wake up!! They started feeding her through a tube in her nose. If she doesn't digest it, they might have to put a tube in her intestines to give her nourishment. Poor kid hasn't eaten since last Tuesday, so I bet she is starving. We keep telling her to hurry and get better so she can eat pizza. She is still on the ventilator, IVs, and dialysis. My Mom, Dad, and sister are coming to visit and stay a few days. It's nice that I don't have to be alone. Someone is always around. That is about it for now. I will post tonight if anything new happens. If not, it will be tomorrow. Thank you for all the support.

Love,
