Evening News

Not much new to report - just another good day of resting.

They were working for a while this afternoon to get a good balance of medications for Judi so that she would be resting comfortably. She did some wiggling around that showed us everything was working as it should, but that she was probably feeling some discomfort. However, they have found a good balance for her, so she is now getting some good resting and healing time.

The neurosurgeon who did her craniotomy talked to us today about the timeline for her next big step, which will be the back surgery. Right now, it's still all about letting her continue to heal and rest so that she will be ready for that.

Keep on praying! :)

  6. Hey sis, today is Lindsey Lous 18th and she said she wish she could come see you but she knows she will see you real soon. She has all her friends in Campus Life praying for you. I believe there are people in 16 states from my network of prayer warriors that are standing in the gap for you as well. God is still the one and only maker of miracles and will use this tragedy as a witness that He is still the ultimate healer. I love you babe but you will still always be older than me and the hospital stay will not change that!!!!

  8. Judi is a fighter, just as she is a loving and caring lady. I will continue my prayers for her and lift her up for the Lord to heal her. I pray for the family who loves her so much. Hang in there, Steve. She loves you so much. She'll be back with you and your daughter very soon.

  11. Judi is my "back row" buddy at Weight Watchers. I have truly enjoyed getting to know her. She is an inspiration to all around her. Please let her know that she is in my prayers. With her determination I know she will be up and out soon! Let her know that her Wednesday night WW friends miss her.


    Sincerely,
