Update on Gretchen- Good News!!

I have some good news, the antibiotics have cleared Gretchen of the sepsis and she is now fully off the sedation medication, awake and aware. Because of the trech she can't talk yet, but her Mom said they gave her some "coke swabs" today (coca cola on a q-tip) and she really enjoyed them. Yesterday they did a small surgery to put a drainage tube in her lung to help her get rid of the rest of the fluid there, and steroids have helped to soften some of the scar tissue. It looks like over the course of the last 7 day's Gretchen has made a great turn!

Please keep the prayers coming!! Nothing is impossible with God and miracles happen every day. Let's hope and pray that her forward progress to recovery continues. Thanks!
