Yesterday was a long, frightening day. But by evening I received some amazing news. Chanelle's brain stopped bleeding in one chamber. It's still bleeding in another area, but the Neurologist was pleased with the progress. He was able to take Chanelle off of the respirator and she came to a little bit and spoke! Doc said she has a very long recovery ahead of her, but he feels that she's out of the danger zone.Chanelle is still a critical patient and continues on in the Intensive Care Unit. Due to the head injury, the doctors haven't even begun to tend to her broken pelvis and clavicle bones. Sister has a long road ahead of her, but she had a great break through yesterday.
I want to thank each of you for your prayers, e-mails, flowers, and texts. You haven't the slightest idea how much your kindness means to my family and I. It brings tears to my eyes to think of your kindness on Chanelle's behalf. I know in my heart of hearts that God heard each petition offered, and a miracle transpired. I'll continue to keep you posted of Chanelle's progress. Thank you once more from the bottom of my sawdust heart.
Love,
Ashley
