7:53 AM
Dorene finally got some rest last night as David spent the
night in Tamara's room. Tamara stayed the same through the night and did not
get worse. The doctor explained that that is good for one in intensive care.
She was so critical that they did a CAT scan at 3:00 am last night. During the
night she began to get a little better.
Tamara was breathing on her own and the ventilator should
come out in an hour. Tamara is tied down to keep her from pulling the breathing
tube out of her throat. She is so strong that she raised up off the bed trying
to get it out. The nurse asked her to move her toes and Tamara responded and
did so. Tamara's eyes followed David's voice. The doctor explained that she is
aware that David is there but will not remember it when she wakes up. The
nurses were so grateful that David was there last night to help hold Tamara
still.
8:39 AM
Dorene talked to the nurse. Tamara's lungs are getting
better. Her pneumonia is improving. The doctor is expected to come this morning
to see her. Thankfully Tamara's doctor is scheduled for this weekend.
They took the breathing tube out of Tamara's throat and she
came to. David was at her side. Tamara said, “What happened to me?” David told
her that she had been out for two days and had been on a breathing tube. Tamara
said, “No way!” Then she said, “I'm cold,” asked for a blanket and then said “brush
my teeth!” and went to sleep. Dorene said, “It was good that David was right
there when she woke up because then she said something to him. He was
absolutely so worried. He needed to hear from his wife.”
I told Dorene that there were those who were fasting today.
Some fasted yesterday. Jonathan spoke of faith to be healed and of having our
faith being tested. He said, “It is a beautiful lesson that we are learning
about faith.”
I know that Dorene and Jonathan and David and Tamara are grateful
for all of your prayers.
David's sister Sylvia is relieving Dorene. Tamara had
requested that the family be at her son's graduation from kindergarten at noon
today. Tamara's family is honoring her request.
