She's in good hands, young and strong and she WILL bounce back. Take it from my experinces......in a blink of an eye time will pass and you will be telling us about her wanting to start dating boys Both of you, hang in there for her:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
ok she is in the process of warming, so far so good. she had some siezure activity but the nurses arent worried... they said it could be caused by meds or warming or lots of things...not nesssicerily brain damage... on a related note: the stress of this caused my grandma to have a heart attack she is ok ..gonna need a cath and a pacemaker.... this is more than i need right now..... thanks for your prayers and continued support. -ian
I don't know what else could possibly happen to you, Ian. They say when it rains it pours. In your case, it is a monsoon. It sounds hopeful for the little one though. Let's keep our thoughts and prayers focused on her and hopefully get her back home in perfect health.
Ian, Your situation reminds us all of what are really the important things in life. I'm sorry to hear of your grandmother, but it sounds like she is going to pull through. I thought it interesting that, in your search for solace in all this, you posted HERE, on this site. I thought that was pretty cool. Everyone is pulling for you, and I'm sure the day will come that your daughter will be asking for the keys to your station wagon.
I wish you and your family especialy your daughter the healing of god's hands.Psalm 111-2 great are the works of the lord;they are pondered by all who delight in them. May you experience the promise of the lord through belief and practice of his teachings. patrick carcrazycollector

She kinda drove me nuts with the, lets do this and that around the house stuff...things I have been putting off etc. Well we had a great day, skill saws buzzing and hammers swinging, walked the dogs together..I had fun. I offered to make her dinner before she left and let her chose what she wanted, we're gona BBQ beef tender loin.

update 2/15/2010 all went well with both MRIs today. no results as to what was found on either. they decided to delay removing her ventilator till tomorrow due to the way they want to ween her off the sedation. Jenn was able to help the nurse clean the eeg residue off her head today. all good steps forward. grand ma got a pace maker today which went well, cardiologist said she has lots of time left on that heart. so...good stuff off tomarrow i cant afford to take anymore time off so i have to go back to work wednesday luckilly i think it is the same distance from here to work as it is from home. thanks for the support and prayer. -ian
As a seminary graduate, former chaplain and the son of an Episcopal priest, I'm beaming up prayers for you and your family, a1awind. The power of prayer is amazing. Hold steadfast to your faith and take comfort in knowing your wagon family is not only behind you, but right beside you.
Thanks, Ian, for the good updates. You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. David
More positive news today Ian, so thank you for keeping us updated. I was at my own doctors today and noticed in the February 2010 issue of Readers Digest (at least the Canadian version) an article about a couple who's baby was having heart issues, the challenges they went through, and the very happy end results. I didn't get to read much as for a change my doctor was moving through his patients much quicker than usual but I thought gosh, this could be Ian and family. Take care, Barry
