The focus of our fast

October 31st

Mom's body is continuing to heal. Her white blood cell count is down once again, right around 23,000. Everything in this reguard continues to move forward positively. My greatest concern today and for the past few days as she has improved physically is for her mental state of being. She is not responsive and at this point she should be. She is no longer sedated and today she was wide awake but she isn't there. She needs to be able to follow commands and protect her airway. I talked with her dr. about having a neurologist come and test her brain function. We can be as patient as we need to be in her healing process as long as we know she is still here.

This is to be the main focus of our fasting and prayers over the next day or two. It wouldn't surprise me if she has just "checked out" temporarily as a coping mechanism but it is still of great concern to our family and the doctors at this point. This is a very pivitol point in her recovery. Please pray for her mental recovery as well as her physical. We need to know that it is our mom that is coming back to us. Everything she ever was is exactly what we want back.
