Wednesday Update

Thank you so much for all of your prayers, visits and e-mails of encouragement.  Today has been another good day.  This morning at 7:00 am, Kerri had a second MRI.  The results of the scan showed that the blood clot had begun to resolve itself.  A new development is that some of the smaller vessels that drain into that main vessel are showing blockage.  The doctor said that it was not surprising.  He equated it to a main highway being blocked and the surrounding roads getting backed up with traffic.

The good news is that Kerri has now progressed to the point where the neurologist feels safe releasing her from the hospital.  So, tomorrow, it looks like we'll be heading back to my parents house.  The plan going forward is for Kerri to begin blood thinning medication on her own and continue on the medicine for the next three months.  Please continue to pray for her as she recovers.

We cannot express how thankful we are for each of you praying on our behalf.  We've been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support and encouragement we have received.  You have truly blessed us during this difficult time.
