Being up so long really tuckered Mom out. She is still sleeping like a baby, and even a false fire alarm did not wake her up. Its probably good. When she sleeps she does not hurt and her body can just concentrate on healing. While I was here, some people in the ICU lobby were making the heart breaking decision to turn life support off for a fairly young man that is a few doors down from us. I am not sure what happened to him, but there is a pretty big crowd here of his friends and family and the organ donation crew arrived a little bit ago. As I watch their grief, I am especially grateful to God that our Mom is on the recovery road. God is good and I believe he will watch out for and heal her so she will be chasing after DJ and Alex and the grandkids she has not met yet for lots of years to come! Matt reminded me today that on the day he was born his Dad was at home shoveling snow. He decided that thats something his family does for good luck. Since he was shoveling snow all day today in Tahoe, he decided he has sent a lot of good luck her way. I like his thought process!!
At 5 I will leave my Dad here at the hospital and drive to the grocery store to make dinner for everyone. I figure a good, healthy meal is something I can do to keep everyone on the hospital rotation healthy as we're taking shifts with Mom. The ICU is closed to visitors from 6:30-8:30 both AM and PM, so Dana will come back after dinner at 8:30 to hang out with her until its night night time. Please keep those prayers coming warriors!!

I can just feel like I am there watching the whole scene and I can feel the love all the way in Charlotte, NC. Stay strong and supportive and take care of yourselves as much as do her. She is blessed to have her sweet and precious family by her side. We will continue with the prayers.
