This is what Bryan sent me this morning:
I just came back from Wendy. She is doing very well. I spoke her nurse Shawna (I think thats her name) who said yesterday was very positive. They have sedated her due to the increase in pain responses. Shawna is looking forward to spa day by the way!! I also was there when a plastic surgeon came to assess her arm again. He stated she appears to be doing well with it and he agreed that it looked better thsi moring. HE said they were concerned about compartment syndrome, but it appears there are no real complications and that she will be treated conservatively at this time for her arm. Her uirne looks good and she is producing 60/hour on her own with no assistance from meds. Shawna was going to get ready to bath her later. She was asking me what she could be doing for her legs to prevent contractures and how I would position her at this time, so we placed some chucks at the side of her right leg to keep it from rolling outward and suggested she continue placing towel roll at her feet up against foot board to give her calves a stretch to prevent foot drop deformity. he is looking better!! Lets just keep praying and continue working together as one BIG family in support of her, Matt and the girls. May all concerns be calmed and emotions lightened as WE ALL work together to keep the rejoicing going!!! Everyone has been amazing and wonderful though this. I pray for an uplifting and rejeuvenation of everyone that has poured there hearts into this. Thank you all and know that Matt appreciates what everyone has done and knows that everyone has his families best interests in mind.
