Its mom's 18th day in the coma and ICU...she is still in very critical condition but making small improvements...the doctors want us to remember that it is still going to be a long while before we see any major improvements and that she could be in this state for a long time depending on how her body reacts
shes pretty much the same, my dad said "like a baby bear in hibernation"
They plan on going in again with the mini camera to see whats going on in her lungs...
her oxygen is back up to 70% because she couldn't tolerate being lower
we will keep you updated if there are any changes
thankyou for all the prayers and kind comments - dad likes coming on and reading them!
xoxo

Hey Mike: Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you, Mich and the family. Sounds like she is improving...a little bit at a time...but its great news. Your family is in my prayers and I think about you guys everyday.
ReplyDeleteStay strong.
Whatever she needs she will get............... if time is what she needs to recover, then time is what she shall have. We know how hard this is on you guys, but we also know that you will stay strong and be there for her when she wakes up. Remember to lean on your friends and family - we are here for you no matter what. Also remember to take care of yourselves, get enough sleep and eat right - you need to stay healthy for yourselves and each other.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you need............. just ask.
i just don't know what else to add here guys but just know that there is not a day that we aren't thinking of you guys and praying that things start to turn around sooner rather than later. the huge thing is that your Mom is a fighter and continues to press on. i just got home from my bible study and we prayed again for your Mom. i asked them to last week and when we got together again tonite that's the first thing they asked. i know there are plenty more out there doing the same thing. hope you guys are all hanging in. xo
ReplyDeletetake care of yourselves. Small improvements are good. It make take time, but Mich will be back stronger and better than ever. Take care of each other and know that we think of all of you every day.

We think about all of you every day. Waiting for the small improvements, the little steps that she will take on the path to recovery, can be hard at times. BUT - you all have each other, and so many people that care about you. This helps with the wait, and the end result is that beautiful smile when Micheline opens her eyes and sees you all!!! I still am amazed at how many people know Micheline and her family, and have stepped up to be there with love and support. As with everyone else, if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask. Lou, Kim, Tyler & Tyler
ReplyDeletemy prayers go out to all of you, how difficult it has to be to go through this, you have a great support system around you though, so please make sure you take the time to take care of yourselves. We will continue to have you all in our thoughts and prayers and I want to thank you for keeping us informed. A few extra Our Fathers and Hail Mary's coming your way tonight
ReplyDeleteDear Mike, Kate, and family: I just wanted to add the support and prayers of my family. I volunteer at the CCS and can't tell you what a ray of gleaming sunshine Miche is to work with! I/we miss her terribly and look forward to her return when this is all over, (since I can't imagine anything but a complete recovery by such a strong and determined spirit such as Micheline's)! My family and I say a prayer every night for strength and courage to all of you and for Miche's full and speedy recovery. Thank you for keeping this blog as it helps to calm my worries daily. (I can sense in your writing style that you are every bit your Mother's daughter - Fiery and Driven!!) Stay strong for one another and when you find you can't, lean on all those who are here for you. From our family to yours - God bless you and keep you.

I am encouraged to hear that at least there are small improvements. I can only imagine how hard this has been on all of you. I like how that was put 'baby bear in hibernation'. It won't be long, I am sure, that Mich will be back to her fun loving self. Stay strong, that is what has kept you and Micheline going all this time. And thank you so much for taking the time to update us. We all care for Micheline so much, and knowing we can come here to find out how she is doing from you has helped to feel closer to her, especially for those of us who are further away and don't feel like we can do much. My prayers are with you all daily.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you all. There isn't an hour that goes by that I don't think of you.
ReplyDeleteMike- you are a wonderful man!!! Stay strong. Your best friend will be back with you soon.
Kate - the next time you can visit with your Mom give her hand a little love squeeze from me. Thanks for updating us daily. I click into the blog several times a day.
Mish - keep fighting, we love you and pray that you will be stronger soon.I can't wait to see that bright smile on your face once again. We miss you on the volleyball court!!
You better hurry and get better - American Idol will be starting its new season soon!!!
Love the Nienhuis's
