Good Evening! Yes, it is a good evening! Just heard that Makenzie's main line is out!!! AND, they are weaning her off of the respirator, with plans on having it out by maybe tomorrow morning! This is very positive news. She is much more alert, and has opened her eyes a couple of times. She does respond to basic commands even under a significant amount of sedation. It will really be great to have her breathing on her own by Mother's Day. Thank you all so very much for prayers....
The surgery plan is still unchanged at this point. Her left femur and right ankle will be repaired on Monday. This will be a long day as they repair fractures which will require plates and screws. Wednesday's surgery will be even more extensive as this will be the day they repair her left foot. This is the foot that we've been asking for so much prayer over. There will be grafting, plastic surgery, etc. It will be a super long day. Monday-Wednesday will be intense days. We look forward to getting these big surgeries behind us so as to start the long road to recovery.
So, prayers of the day are:
-Pray for Monday's surgery
-Pray for Wednesday's surgery (foot foot foot!)
Thanks so much for your continued support. AND, some of you have shared your stories with us on this blog! It totally encourages us! Keep them coming!
Have a great evening my friends.....

Just want you guys to know that I'm reading every day and lifting you all up in prayer. Thank you so much for posting.
ReplyDeleteChuck and Pam, Know that our whole family is lifting Makenzie up in prayer. That foot is a topic of conversation between me and God! Mary, thanks for keeping us all updated. If there is something you need done here, just let me know. We love yall. Donna
ReplyDeletePraise God from whom all blessings flow! So much to be thankful for, yet we will still pray for God's blessings on her legs and feet, especially the left foot. Tell the family that my family prays several times daily for them and we won't let up. I plan on being at the hospital next Wednesday to be with them as they wait for the success of this long, intensive surgery. Thanks so much for the blog and keeping us informed. Makenzie is so precious to me and I love her very much. Marion LeBlanc
