A New Journey – An Update on Sean

There was an update last night by Terri's friend, Sue, but it was merely a "don't worry, all is well" type note so I didn't post it.

Well we are on day 21 today and Sean continues to improve. I'm sitting by his bedside as he rests. We are listening to Lorena McKennit. During the night his nurse was able to lower his meds more. He is nearly off of the versed. Everyone seems to think that the doctor will want to remove his ventriculostomy today. If that happens it will be after 3pm because it has to be 12 hours after his last dose of anti-coagulant. I will know more after [the doctor] comes in. I'll keep you posted. Sean is opening his eyes a little more and he shows emotion in his expressions but he is still not responding to commands. I think that is probably a combo of drugs and Sean being obstinate.

We are starting to feel a little worn out. We are rejoicing with the positive changes but we are tired. This journey that we are on is an arduous one. If anything we are spending more time here then before because as Sean becomes more alert we want him to see a familiar face and hear a familiar voice. Please pray for strength and stamina for us as we enter the next leg of this race. Don't get me wrong, I haven't lost my gratitude for all that God is doing for Sean and how he has sustained us thus far. I'm just keeping it real folks. Personally, I need my go to girls. You know who you are (I've told you) and I need you right now to prop me up a little. I know I can count on you ladies because you are all amazing in your strength and comfort.

Well that's it for now, I will post a little more after the Dr. comes in.
Have a blessed day beautiful people. Keep believing, keep praying.

Love,
Terri, Vince, Sean & Kiersten
