Emily update: in stable condition but scared

without comments

from Pray for Emily Facebook group

Today things seemed to be a little better with Emily.

She woke up today when the nurse came in
without even being prompted to do so.

She is more “awake” now then she was
and the doctors think she is realizing what is going on.

When people come in her heart rate goes up
and the doctors think that she is realizing where she is
and what is going on because she seems scared.

Please pray that Emily is at ease
and that she doesn’t get too scared,
and keep praying that she will wake up soon.

Emily update – no danger of dying

without comments

From the Pray for Emily Facebook Group:


June 14, 2:40am
NEW UPDATE!!!
OK, I’m sorry to be getting back to you guys so late but here it is…
The scans that the doctors are doing of her brain are not looking good.
However, her responses have been very good.

She is able to be woken up and she responds to stimuli well.
The doctor said that Emily is definitely “in there”
meaning she is not just staring blankly,
she knows people are there and what is going on.

Tonight was also the end of the 72 hours
and tonight is the first time the whole family will be home.

Her heart is exactly where they want it to be
and she can breathe on her own.

She is in stable condition
and is in no danger of dying, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

The family is in better spirits
and can smile and laugh about memories together.

They also have taken her off the morphine
so she is in no pain.

Now it is a waiting game to see how the brain reacts.

The good thing about the scans was that
instead of one area of the brain being in very bad shape,
it looked like it may be minimal damage
to a few different parts of the brain.

The doctor said that there is definite possibility for improvement.

It could be days or weeks,
but Emily will wake up!

So now we just have to pray that her brain recovers
and that when she wakes up
she is the same Emily we know and love.

So these next eight or so hours
are what will decide how much her brain will recover.
Please Please PLEASE focus your mind on Emily
in continual prayer that her brain will
turn and corner and recover in these next few hours.

You guys have all been great so far,
all 706 of you.
Now we just need to lift her up
down the home stretch.
