Hello All...Today was an emotional day, but at the end, everyone was more at ease as everything soaked in. Matt had called late last night and updated that Wendy had an upper and lower GI assessment and a colonoscopy. The results of her GI tests were good. She did have some areas of bleeding in the colon that would have been a result from the first night events. the doctors cauterized the areas. They informed Matt that Wendy will be checked again to make sure the bleeding has stopped so taht they can proceed with feeding tube and tracheotomy. Worst case scenario is that they would have to do a colon resection, meaning they would remove a section of her colon and splice it back together. Once this is all clear, then they can proceed with the trach and feeding tube. When Wendy has this all done, then she can be prepared to leave ICU and go to a step down unit and begin therapy. Therapy will be the key at that point. She has remained in bed with little physical stimulation at this point. Her recovery will really begin to show once rehab begins. I mentioned that Matt that as a PT myself, we work with people everyday that have had strokes and we send them home and able to function well. I informed him that the body heals slower neurologically, and that gains toward improvement could continue for up to a year or more. Rehab will provide significantly more stimulation that will encourage the reconnection of "broken" pathways in the brain. Matt said he sat back and thought about the MRI result and realized that what they said yesterday was a result of what happened about 16 days ago, and we have seen improvements since then, so he is confident that she will continue to improve. He remained faithfull in that he commented yesterday afternoon "that if God could bring Wendy from death, he can bring her from this!" He continues to do exceptionally well about remaining focused on the fact that this scenario is in God's hands and that there is a greater plan to all of this than we can see at this point. He says he does have his moments of emotional distress, just like the rest of us, but by the time he gets to talking with someone, he has had some time to regroup. So I ask that we all continue to praise and thank God for all of the great things he has done through this and that as someone said, God is waiting to show off how great he is when he brings Wendy to recovery. We have to not let satan advance his antics of distracting us from this miracle. The girls had a good day and enjoyed the weather. Jess and I took them all to the VA park to burn off some energy. Taryn is getting really excited for her Father's Day program at school on Thursday and getting to take Daddy with her!!!! That was a focus of her "big" prayer at night!! She is so adorable. Kylee is also quite adorable once it comes time for "pray." She asks everynight for everyone to be happy and to get Mommy better. We thank you all again for your love and support...please keep your prayers going!!Bryan.
