From her site:

A few minutes ago I went into Rachael’s room and for the first time in two days did not get more bad news. It is not time for a party (yet) but her ICP number is 6, her bood presure is 120/75, her blood ox is 94, her heart rate is 80 and the oxygen level they are giving her is 60% down from a high of 90%. I am not sure how much pressure they are having to use on her ventilator. (her lungs were somewhat collapsed this morning)

These are all good things.

Her brain waves are still flat which is still what they want, but oh, so so so hard to see.

I am very,very,(VERY) cautiously hopeful that her brain swelling has stopped increasing and that she might start decreasing soon.

Jacob and David came to see me and I am so happy to see them. It is medicine to a mommys heart.

“Lord I do believe, help me in my unbelief.”

Also a note on her CaringBridge page:

Thank you for your prayers, we continue to need them. The family needs assistance in paying their mortgage, food, & other need as Rachael’s condition will be very long term. We’ve set up an account with Washington Mutual. If you are able to donate, please contact Nicholas at 801-688-3702. We also could use food and daily need donations for the other 8 children.

Family, I am praying for you.

blessings!
