I must say today was an absolutely frustrating day. You lucky little thing to be asleep during all the morning drama of trying to get paperwork done to move you. Everyone was back from vacation so your Lawyer, HR Department, and Shepherd's representative were all working hard for you today.
It is official - you will be moving to Shepherd's at 9:00 AM tomorrow. This is a great step and we're looking forward to starting to wake you up and start some therapy.
You still have your breathing tube and you are still initiating your own breaths. The ventilator is just filling your lungs with the oxygen that is needed. The Doctors don't want to remove your breathing tube until you have landed safely at Shepherd's and you are all checked in. If something happens while you are mid-flight with the pressure changes and all, the Doctors won't have enough space to work on you so the ventilator stays for a few more days.
No one is sure about your ability to walk or feel your legs. This is something that only time will be able to tell. We're all praying for God's will to be done. There is a bright side to every thing that happens and whatever we find out from this point forward will all be God's plan for you.
Psalms 139:16 is a great reminder of how God's plan for our lives is bigger than our own.
"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."We are standing strong with you! We're standing strong as you travel tomorrow. We're standing strong as you meet new Doctors and Nurses. We're standing strong as you begin therapy and rehabilitation. We're standing strong with you as you begin this new chapter in your life.
I'm thankful daily for you and for the lesson that you don't even know you're teaching.
We will see you in Atlanta soon!
- Sarah
