Latest Update on Lo

New member
Greetings all Losey's Posey's,

Miss Lo is in ICU and her family has gotten to visit several times already.

Technically I don't think Lo is awake but... she seems to light up when her daddy is nearby, has squeezed his fingers and smiled at him. Terry says it was only a smile a parent could notice but there was no doubt... it was a smile. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Lo has a team of folks ensuring she is right on track, including one person dedicated to monitoring her every moment. She is still in the stage where progressed in monitored in terms of hours vs days or weeks but at this point the hours are going well.

The next BIG step would be to take her off the ventilator, which may happen as early as tomorrow or may take much longer. It all depends on sweet Lo's progress.

Biggest prayer requests right now are 1) that her body will not reject the lungs and 2) that they don't experience any problems with any germs or bacteria or bugs that make it more difficult for Lo to recover.

Terry ended our conversation by saying "they are the most blessed family in the world. All they have to do is show up and their friends & family take care of them." It's a good life with much to be thankful for today.

Please continue to forward these emails to those not yet included and send me any addresses that need to be on the distribution list. (We just found a huge pocket I'd missed earlier today - yikes!!)

Regards,
