Great news here! Â Mom just passed a breathing test and they have decided to let her breathe on her own for one hour. Â This is basically just an exercise. Â Being on the vent with it off is just like breathing through a straw. With that in mind there is a setting that she is currently on that accounts for this and relieves this pressure while still allowing her to control her own breathing. Â This doesn’t mean she’s coming off the vet today or even tomorrow but this is very encouraging progress.

This is the most wonderful news! Tell Karen that I’m thinking about her all the time and miss talking to her. The updates that you all are giving us are so so appreciated. Everybody would be going crazy without them!!!! When I’m at work which is about all the time anymore, Lowell reads the updates and calls me at work to tell me anything that is good, encouraging news. I can tell Karen is going to be fine, it’s just going to be a long recovery, but at least I know at some point I’m going to have my good friend back. I don’t know what I’d do without you Karen. You are one of the few friends that I can really talk to about anything. Get better soon! I love you a ton!!!!!
Our little church in Masai Mara continues to keep Karen in their prayers. Thank you so much for the updates.
I am so excited to hear this wonderful news! Please tell Karen that I ate an extra piece of Turkey for her and had lots of cranberries! Also Karen, I know you said you wanted to lose some weight, but this is not the way to do it! Our prayers at the studio continue to flow. Get better soon. We miss your smiling face in dance class.
