Steady As She Goes

Carly had another quiet day today. Although we would like to see her awake and smiling, it is a huge relief to see her so peaceful and pain free. Results from a variety of tests continue to come in and all have been negative so far (in this case negative is a good thing.) She still has a LOT of tubes and wires attached to her, twenty nine to be exact. This made it a little tricky moving her from her bed to Christa's lap, but as you can imagine it was worth it for both mom and daughter. Feedings have begun through a nasal-gastric (NG) tube which should be making her belly happy and hopefully will give her the energy she needs to take the next steps in her recovery.

Love, Brad

Good to hear things have been better. I hope the recovery remains steady.

My mom wished she could be put into a medical coma so she could lose weight without dieting. She wanted to wake up a svelt 120 pounds! Timing is everything.
All our love,
Gail and Greg
