Well, y'all are stuck with an Ethan update today, but for good reason as you will see below. I spoke with Amy briefly a few minutes ago. Debbie is off the ventilator! They removed it this morning but she is not allowed to attempt talking until tomorrow. Amy says that her mother doesn't want to be left alone and seems very bored and uncomfortable. I told her that this seems fine to me for now. This means she's alert and aware enough to feel this way, so she can be as bored and uncomfortable as she needs to be. So today looks like it's going to be a very good day! Amy didn't pass on any info on last night's CT scan, but if it looked good and her ICP is steady they will "plug" the shunt going into her skull for now.
Debbie seems to be improving steadily and we are all encouraged by the past 2 days. On a side note, forgive me if I ever shift back and forth between referring to Debbie by her first name and by Mrs. Fromm. I've known her since I was 14 and its awkward to transition to something less formal. Sorry, its just how we were raised. Amy will post another update this evening. Please send up prayers of thanksgiving while continuing to petition for healing and patience.

This is one of the best updates yet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Debbie is headed in the right direction and all the prayers are working. Our family has been given a miricle.
Now we need to get Heidi on the mend so she will be able to vist her mom when get returns. Amy, Dick & Ethan you need to get all the rest you can before Debbie gets moved to a regular room, the last thing she needs is for one of you to get sick. I wish I could do a HAPPY DANCE, so I will just send a big internet hug to all of you that have done such a good job keeping Debbie in your prayers and for those that have been able to spend time at the hospital. Thank you and GOD BLESS! Aunt Rita
Wooooo Hooooo!!!!! Yay!!! Oh Ethan...thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWOW-ZOOKIE!!!! This is the news I have been waiting for! God is good and blesses us richly! Amy, if you want to and think it is time, you can start giving her those little things I prepared before I left. Might help the boredom? You decide if she is awake enough to enjoy them. I am so relieved she is off that ventilator!!! Praise the Lord! That is truly a prayer specifically prayed for and answered today. I was praying for that very thing on the way to school. Thank you Lord!
ReplyDeleteLove hugs and prayers,
Aunt Cheryl

ReplyDeleteAwesome news! I am so glad she is doing better! Praise God! One small step at a time means that she is moving, and thank goodness it's the right direction! Continued prayers... Joey
ReplyDeleteDear Fromm Family,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that Debbie is on the mend. I went to Ladies Bible Class today at Duncanville where we prayed for her full recovery. I think God is hearing our prayers.
Thank you for the detailed updates.
Keep up te good work!:)
Comfort and Peace

Awesome news. Prais God from whom all blessings flow.
ReplyDeleteI'm encouraged by how quickly she is healing! Praise God. :) Hopefully when she's moved out of the ICU, she can have a tv in her room....?
ReplyDelete"...and seems very bored and uncomfortable. I told her that this seems fine to me for now."
ReplyDeleteYou called that one right, Ethan. Besides, Debbie's been around my brother for over 38 years. She's well practiced.
Smiles to all,
Chuck
