The ventilator was removed today. Mom is breathing on her own. (She is still on oxygen) The pulmonary docs found an abscess in Mom's abdomen. She was taken to radiology to have a drainage tube put in, during the procedure there were a few more pockets discovered which required another drainage tube. Depending how the night goes she should be stabilized and be able to return to Huntsman tomorrow. Mom is very aware of what is taking place now that ventilator has been removed. She is giving orders to her nurses. Tyler (nurse) has been a so kind to Mom and has made sure we are aware of what is taking place with her. We will miss Dr. Lo. She is an amazing and extremely talented doctor.
Our family is coming to be with Mom this weekend. Bret, Dee, Megan and Aryton are here now. As said before her grandkids are her life and Grammy is their lives. Camp Grandma will always be forever memories to each one of them.

I was so happy to read your blog tonight and hear Chris is off the vent. Who doesn't love Grammy she has so much love to share with everyone and is so much fun to be with, just like one of the kids! She has always told me she wants to be like me when she GROWS UP, so Chris. I know you feel all of the love and prayers that are being sent your way. May you be embraced by our Saviors comfort and love.

Chris My Sis!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible Sis you are! I pray you will have a good day and enjoy your family! They love you so much. Just a note..on Chris and Jack's wall in their home is a huge picture of Bret,Greg,Lori,Kurt and Kristi (their children)and a plaque above that picture reads "All because two people fell in love." The love Chris and Jack have for one another is so touching and inspiring. Jack has never left Chris's side through this whole ordeal..the epitome of what life is all about...love and family! Chris loves her family and truly lives for them. Thanks for taking such good care of my Sis! I love you all.
Chris you are dear to my heart...you are such an example of a Christlike life. You hang in their and don't give up! Scott and I pray for you and want you to come home. We miss you and love you so much!
Love your sis,

So glad to read the latest news, Chris. Keep up the good work. You'll be back giving instructions to all the family, not just your nurses. Love you lots.

Dear Chris, Jack & Family,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read your progress daily, thanks to Cristy. Bruce has enjoyed remembering some of your old school mates who have responded to the call of compassion.
We can imagine the grandchildren wanting to
to see their Grammy as she has been such an
inportant part of their lives (literally)
Great Picture with G.Grandma Lunpkins.
Yesterday we went to our regular Wednesday
work day at the Redlands Temple all of your children's names you Chris & Jack are in for another 2 weeks & we will keep that going. If Cristy desires to give us the spouses we can add those also I have a great testimony of the prayer roll in the Temple. Miracles still happen & we are praying for one big one for you my dear sister & friend.
A big hug to Jack as we know from experience how hard it is on the care giver (Jack) as well as the patient.
Big hugs & smiles.
May peace be with you this day and ALWAYS
Love,
Nancy & Bruce
