To Carrie’s Mom and Dad,
Was thinking about you today. Hoping to hear how Carrie was doing. Having spent a few days in a hospital , but fortunately not recently, I always thought that it was really a tough place to spend time when you are not feeling well, with all of the routines you go thru.
As a Parent , I know alot about perserverance. I am glad Carries neck brace is off , and will be thinking about you Tuesday as she goes into Surgery.
I pray for you and Carrie. Keep letting us know how it is going.
Oh, I am so sorry. I pray that Carrie will recover and that the family will be comforted. In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen.
It's good that this is being done.
and she is not responding.
That's normal at this stage. People with brain swelling can be unresponsive for weeks and still pull through.
Thank you for the update! Prayers continue...
Prayers for Carrie continue.
Prayers for Carrie and the family ~P~
Prayers continue
From my auntFrom Carrie's sister, LM just received a call after a blood test was repeated today. The surgery tomorrow has been cancelled. M didn't know the reason. She has a lot of questions and is pleased that their family doctor had planned to make his first visit after work today. D got home home in time to talk with the doctor too.
Carrie's oxygen in her blood is low. Her lungs sound clear and she hasn't had to have a whole lot of suctioning. They need to have guidance on this new medicine and what it's for, when to give it, and how it affects Carrie.
M has had quite a long day--making calls and answering the phone, trying to get supplies, helping the nurse, many things to accomplish--laundry, etc. Dad and I were gone on errands. We'll keep you informed. Now we are anxious that this surgery is accomplished, of course. But we want it to be done at a good time for Carrie's needs and good health.
Love,
[my aunt]
Carrie was intended to have surgery tomorrow morning to replace the skull flap that was removed the morning of the accident. After today’s blood test, the doctors have cancelled surgery. Their reasoning is not certain, although we can speculate it is due to Carrie’s low oxygen level in her blood. She is on new medication which should increase the level of oxygen.
Jesus, we come to you as our Prince of Peace. You see the end from the beginning and are fully aware of this small setback. Provide the strength and grace the family needs now, and cause Carrie’s oxygen level to rise to a healthy level. You are the great creator. Thank you for the healing you have already brought. AMEN.
Lots of thanks for your thoughts and prayers from a grateful big sister.

Continued prayers for Carrie, her family and the medical people caring for her and making the critical decisions. There can never be enough prayers!
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

How true, and something about which we need to remind oourselves often.
I know it must be very frustrating to have the surgery cancelled...but, it is better safe than sorry, if they think it at all could put her in danger.
My goodness, just reading about their day wears me out...Prayers that they can get some help so that they don’t get too over stressed...and over tired.
thanks for the update..

Continued prayers Gretchen.
Warm greetings, Gretchen.
We must all think Oxygenating thoughts! ;-)
And be thankful for how far she has come. I’m am still in awe at the poise and faithfulness of your family. I am deeply touched that we have been blessed to observe and participate in this miracle in the making.
And I continue to pray for you, Carrie and all of your family. :-)
Prayers up for Carrie. May she continue to heal.
Prayers for strength for the family, as they do the innumerable tasks necessary to Carrie’s health and recovery. God, bless them all with happiness and peace, in Christ’s Holy Name we beg, Amen.
Thank you so much, Gretchen, for keeping us informed. My prayers continue for Carrie’s full and complete recovery.

Heartfelt prayers, hoping this set back is just before a huge gain forward.
