Amazing…
Today was a great day…
Along with the chest tube being removed, Alese was removed from the ventilator this morning; both tasks were pain free for her and her progress continues to amaze everyone, including COH staff. Her first words were to the nurse after they removed the tube from her throat were “Thank you.”
She’s breathing on her own; she’s talkative and as fiery as ever.
Late this afternoon, they gave her a round of chemotherapy and if she continues to progress at this pace, they will take her out of ICU tomorrow and release her to come home Thursday or Friday.
At this point, we have not told her what transpired; she asked what day it was and when we told her “Monday” - she asked “What happened?” We told her that after our own heart rates and blood pressure returned to normal; we’d share the story with her. She smiled and said “Whenever you’re ready.” Thankfully, she has no memory of this entire event.
Father, we thank you for the mercy you’ve shown Alese and our family. We thank you for sparing her pain and discomfort over the last 96 hours. We thank you for answered prayer from so many who love you and walk with you. Lord, as Alese rests in your arms, may your peace continue to encapsulate her life and your joy overflow from her heart.
Thank you for your prayers, we believe with all of our heart, she would not be here without so many faithful praying. Thank you. Please continue to pray for Alese as she undergoes conditioning chemotherapy as she prepares for this stem cell transplant..
Blessings,
