Tonights visit was the same in terms of no change. She still looks beautiful! I wanted to clear up a visual you might be creating based on all the info we are providing. Some have been surprised in seeing her because they thought her head is crashed in. She looks normal yet with many tubes etc... She has a bolt with tube in it on her right forehead that will be there until her pressure remains stable. They say her pressure needs to stay below 20. When they turn her, take her in for CAT scan daily etc... her pressure goes to high even with all the sedation. The goal is to have her stay below 20 at all times. That supposedly may take days or months. Per nurse we all have ICP or Intracranial pressure-for example when we sneeze it goes off the charts. So we need to keep it low as they say on Deal No Deal. When we come in she is at 1 or 2 then we see it stay around 7-11 while we are there. We love kissing her, talking to her, praying to her, rubbing her feet, stroking her forehead and giving her words of encouragement that we need her, we love her and we miss her. Brian and Rachel got here after 2 days of travelling to get here from Alaska. Rachel got her 2 grandchildren on the phone so they could talk to their YaYa. She held the phone to MJ's ear and the kids told her they loved her. It is a stabbing pain in my heart being here in this house without her. We sat at dinner table last night and had dinner for first time together as a family between the 5 and 9 visit and let me tell you it is not the same without her being there with us. But, we know you ARE with us MJ we so miss you, love you and need you. The scrabble board is waiting for you too. Thanks Jennifer for the fabulous soups and food -we are so appreciative and grateful.
Each day we get these tidbits of info that we may face. We heard infection and pneumonia are possibilities yet we remain hopeful and positive -she is strong.
Thank you nephew Brad for setting this site up. Your postings are so powerful and your words of encouragement give us such strength and we know they will give MJ strength as she heals and recovers. Brad tells us he pulled up analytics on this and she has had 1000+ hits in past 24 hours from over 11 countries! We can pull up US map on this and see states shaded in where people are pulling this up.
Thank You again to everyone of you.
Much Love, Cindy
