Update on my sister “Lori”
From Snykerz | 08/23/2008 5:58:23 PM PDT new
The latest update on Lori that I have from Jon from last night is :::
Lori was having trouble breathing after they put the plug in the Trach, when Jon went to see her she was sweating from trying so hard to breathe on her own, she was trying so hard to breathe that it was making her so tired, and at one point she stopped breathing and Jon had to remind her to breathe and her breaths were short and deep, like she was gasping, so Jon talked to the docs and nurses and told them that this is not right and to put her back on the Trach , so now she is doing alright.
It is a minor setback, but still I worry. It seems that she takes 2 steps forward and 1 step back. After putting her back on the trach she is alert and resting comfortably and understands what people are telling her.
Before they put her back on the Trach she had a BIG gulp of Pepsi and seemed to come out of her comatose state for a bit. Jon said she had a look of relief after having something cool and refreshing down her throat and actually pulled herself up on her elbows and tried to sit up straight, which tells me that she has her motor skills on both sides of her body (Praise be!).
Jon is a Godsend for my little sister, he is right there for her and moves her arms and legs. Lori is supposed to start physical therapy soon. But right now Jon is the best physical therapy for her. He loves her so much, so please everyone keep Jon in your prayers as well as “Our Lori”. Keep the prayers going Lori’s way as I know that God is listening and keeping track of each and everyone of them.
May God Bless you all who are praying for my sister, and I Thank each and everyone of you, I don’t know what I would do without you all.
With Love and Blessings

Deep in the night, I lift up Lori in prayer. May God heal her broken places, and fill her heart with peace...
Memo:
Give the woman more soda! It seems to help.
Seriously...more prayers that Lori will continue her slow
progress toward being stronger and healthier.
My prayers continue....
Thanks for the heads up here. Prayers continue for Lori and for Jon and family as well.
Thank you for keeping us informed. Prayers continue...
BTTT
Continued prayers for your sister. Gosh, seems like she is SO CLOSE to recovery...maybe just taking longer than we want. We’re human after all. So, more prayers and more faith that she will be fine.
I hope I am putting this update in the right place..if not I have sent it to {{{{Pegita}}}} Thank you Pegita for putting up with me, I seem to get lost on the computer sometimes..LOL

This is good news! Lori seems to be getting stronger everyday and is now able to talk a little bit! She tells her kids that she loves them and speaks to Jon each day. I am now able to speak with her on the phone from NC and even tho it is difficult for her to have a conversation, I usually just rattle on about the family and news, and she will say “Yes” and Ok and Bye Bye to me. She holds the phone by herself now, something she couldn’t do a week ago. Praise Be to God!
The doctors have put the plug back in the trach and she is breathing on her own and can have sips of Pepsi, Ice Tea, Ice chips... they may start her on some Jello or Ice cream soon. So, she is making progress each and everyday.
I was wondering if any of you would like to join in and send her a card ( you dont have to ) but I bet it would absolutly thrill her. I have several friends that are doing this already with me. If you would like to send a card or note of encouragement to her, here is the address of the hospital:
Lori Bruno
Room # 513
Good Samaritan Hospital
616 Witmer Street
Los Angeles, Ca 90017
******** Hospital also has another address **********
Good Samaritan Hospital
1225 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, Ca 90017
*********************
You can use either address as it is the same hospital and sits on the corner of Witmer & Wilshire. I called and verified this with them. So any mail you send will get her at either addy.
***********************
Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts for Our Lori, I know that she appreciates each and everyone of you, just as I do. May God Bless and keep you all safe, happy and healthy.
In Faith
Marianne
