Jenny had a better night last night. She rested better and was having a better day today until one of the wires inside her mouth popped. It is in between her teeth and tongue in the back left corner of her mouth. It was cutting into her tongue, so she was waiting for the oral surgeon to come and evaluate that situation. I spoke to my dad a few minutes ago and as far as he knew, the surgeon had not been in.
She is expected to move to rehab in the next few days.
Isabella was able to take a nap with her daddy today, "wrapping" her arms around him. She tried to mouth a few words, but nothing came out. She did grab at the nurse with her right arm. This is great news because she has not yet shown much control/strength on the right side of her body. She pointed correctly to a few pictures the therapist provided. They readjusted her feeding tube today and Matthew expected that they would soon be in to test her swallowing once again.
Thank you for tuning in. I will be sure to keep you posted when anything new arises. 9 days later, time is still passing. Healing is coming, slowly but surely. Thank you for praying. God bless you all.

Found your blog and I'm glad for the updates. I'm Matthew's cousin's wife. :) We have had this sweet family in our prayers since the evening of the accident, but with these updates we'll be able to focus our prayers on specific things.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting the updates, and for your wise comments. I check several times a day for news, and keep the whole family continually in prayer. (I've listened to "your" song on youtube and it is resonating with me, as well.) Please give my love to all,
Zane
Our prayers are with the family. Casey goes to school with Isabella and Alicia, and she is very concerned. I am glad to have this blog to update her with information. She wants to send the girls a card. I hope all goes well and eveyone heals fast.

We pray for you continually, morning, noon, and night. Constantly knocking, pounding on God's door. Begging for peace, comfort, healing, mercy, and grace. You are loved by so very many people. Many you have never and will never meet. But still we lift you up, and know that God holds you in the palm of His almighty hand. Blessings.
