A Slightly Better Day

Friday started off quiet and stayed that way all day. Emily is still on the ECMO system and is still heavily sedated. There are some very encouraging news. Her kidneys are working good and so is her liver. All of her Oxygen is through her lungs, so they are working. There has been some very slight response to the nurses when they have been talking to her, mostly eye movements. They have also reported some are movement while they have repositioned her. This is all very good news. She will, hopefully, have the neurological evaluation today. They need to make sure her brain is functioning properly after her crash. That may be the hardest sentence I have ever written...

Today is Sharleen's tenth birthday and we have a party at our house for her. Everyone will be there except dad. I will be at the hospital in case they need one of us.

More later...
