Hello everyone. I'd like to thank everyone who is taking the time to read this. Thank you all so much for your prayers, love, compassion and for your words of encouragement. Prayer chains and well wishes have come from as far as Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Canada, Switzerland and many US states including Michigan, North Carolina, New Mexico, California, New York, New Jersey and many more. I am truly overwhelmed. It is unbelievable that in a time as difficult as this, we have been shown the very best of the human spirit of caring and compassion. I am most excited to share this with Elena when she wakes up. I can't wait to see the smile on her face when she finds out how many people all around the world care for her and her well being! God knows if anyone in this world deserves it, it's her.
To say that Elena is an extraordinary woman is not nearly saying enough. And to those of you who don't know Elena in person, I hope you get the opportunity to meet her very soon. Just like they say about the seven wonders of the world, her smile is something you should be lucky enough to experience in person. I take comfort in knowing that thanks to Elena's strength, a very caring nursing and medical staff, and the will of God I will soon be able to look into her beautiful green eyes and tell her over and over again how much I love her.
And now I'd like to update all of you on her condition. Although we still have a ways to go, today was a good day and she made some significant improvements. Some of the parameters on her ventilator were reduced (this is a good thing). The bed is rotating a bit more frequently and she has been able to hold her oxygen saturation at a high level. Please keep praying and sending out love and positive energy. It's truly helping.
Numbers as of today's last visit.
Vent - 70%, PEEP - 17, Saturation - 96
MIKE (or as she calls me, Crinkle)
