Day 16

16th day in the coma...but she’s still holding her own
there still not much change...she is still in the ICU (intensive care unit) her fever is down to 37.9 she is on 50% on the ventilator. The Doctor again said she is very critical and will probably be in a coma for another few weeks....he said she is taking baby baby baby steps everyday ...they said she might sit at the state she is in now for a while because she need to rest.
they examined they yuckies from her lungs again today and said there still wasn't any growing bacteria (which is good)

Im sorry we dont have too much to update...shes kinda sitting at the same place for now
Dad and I suited up and went in too see her today...i was holding her hand and telling her how many people were thinking about her and praying for her...i like to think she can hear me, even though she wont remember it

we promise we will keep you updated if there are any changes
thankyou again for all the love

  2. I am so glad she is still fighting, she is very strong. But I have to admit, the tears started falling down my cheeks when I read the part where she will probably be in a coma for another few weeks.... I just can't imagine missing so much time.

    Hang in there McEwan family! So many people are praying for Mich!!

  5. Kate - never be sorry for updates - we are all waiting and praying for news.........

    Regardless of how big the steps are, we are walking right along with her.... baby steps or giant steps we are there for her and for you and your family.

    I am so happy you were able to go in and see her.......... to hold her hand and talk to her is so important. She is fighting for you and knows you are fighting for her...... she KNOWS how much you guys love her and how many people are supporting her and praying for her but being with her today and touching her I am sure is the most important. I have no doubt that she could feel your love and hear your voice.

  7. I'm sure she feels your presence Kate, keep talking to her when you can. Its a long road but if her body rests she will get better faster. You are so good to keep everyone posted. The neighbours are thinking of her and praying for her.

  8. I loved reading about you holding your mom's hand and talking to her - that made me smile. If I learned anything over the past year, it's that the power of prayer and positive thinking will get you through many a dark time. I am thinking back to a time (one year ago) when Lola was very sick, and your mom was there to cheer her on every step of the way. She was always so positive that Lola would recover. She (and Aunt Dina) sent me a necklace that said "Believe in Miracles" - and I wore it everyday and would hang onto it when things weren't going so well. Well, we're just as positive that Mich will be back to her sassy self - and we're willing to wait awhile, as tough as that may be. To say that we believe in miracles is an understatement.
    Love you guys lots xo

  9. Like Lois, I get teary at the thought of her being out for another "few weeks". Imagine her dismay when she wakes up and realizes how much time has gone by!

    Kate, we love that you keep us informed, even if it's to say there's no change. We are comforted just knowing that she's holding her own and hang onto every one of those "baby steps". They're moving in the right direction.

    I'm glad you were able to be with her today. Your mom would be so proud of you through all this.... she always is! ♥

  10. Kate, hearing any news is good. I think we all just care so much that we need to know, good or bad. As for you going in there today, she knows that you were there, I truly believe that people in that state know. So, for now, she will rest and get better and we will all just wait. I am sure that when she does come around, she will be pissed that she missed all the excitement! I think about you all constantly during the day. Please keep good care of yourselves because she will need you when she gets home.
