Katie Update
Here's the latest on my sister. There's a short write-up from my Dad, below, and pictures on the second page. Please be advised that the pics are not for the squeamish or the faint-of-heart. They're no worse then prime time television, but the face is more familiar.
From Dad:
Here are the facts. Heart rate has fluctuated from 53 to 105, so their
watching that. Nothing to worry about, just very interesting.
She has a headache...no surprise there. And she's still a little confused,
probably because of the medicine.
They will move her to a room on the neurosurgery floor about 5:00 today.
She's had clear liquids and will be moving up to a liquid diet (ice cream,
soup....) Depending on how that goes, she may be able to try soft foods in
a day or so. Her jaw hurts very badly from where they cut the muscles
around her jaw, so chewing is still a problem.
She's in good spirits, no changes there, but she's still confused. Could
be medicine, could be because someone's been messing with her brain.
All in all, we're seeing progress.
Hey Ben! Thanks for the updates. Our church, friends and family have been praying for her and all you. Love you guys!
