Leisa Update- ***LATEST UPDATE on pg 8***

[T.C.]

I know you dont know me but I am praying for your family and have asked my mothers prayer group to keep your family in their thoughts and prayers.

[Brett]

Thank you so much, ALL prayers are needed. And I feel the more god hears the quicker he will bless me with a second chance with her

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

Okay, my uncle is calling the contacts that he knows.... Mom doesn't really know anyone and my sis in law is focused on labor and delivery.

Her left side seems to be getting stronger, from what her mom told me about 30 minutes ago when they tried to change the IV Needle in her left hand they ended up having to have someone hold her left arm down due to the pain of changing the needle because her left arm was fighting it, and she said Leisa's left arm has some strength in it today. BUT she said we really need Leisa to ATLEAST if she cant wake up yet to start to respond to commands so show her brain is working on that, but she hasnt started doing that yet. But It seems if she can wake up her left side may show signs it could make a recovery which is exciting.

KEEP PRAYING!! NOW START TO PRAY SHE WAKES UP BEFORE MONDAY!! That is the day if she doesnt they will have to do a Trac in her throat because they have to take the breathing tube out of her mouth so it doesnt damage her vocal cords, etc which happens if it stays in to many days.

[v-empire]

she will make it !!!

be confident and know she will!

[knightluder]

Just stoppin in to say you guys are still in our prayers and keep thinking positive. Let us know if you need anything.

Brett,

I honestly can't believe this... it just doesn't seem real. I know how much she means to you, and you have to remember that even right now, she knows that you mean the world to her too. That will never change.

My family will be praying for you guys, and if there's anything we can do, please let us know. I wish I was in town so I could try to help in some way. I just don't know what to say. We're all with you in spirit...don't forget that.

And Godbless IA for being such a great community that can be here for each other in this way. It's a really special thing.

Praying for you brother,
Rut

[Brett]

Rut can you maybe Sunday give a shout out to her and ask people to pray for her when you broadcast from the race Sunday?

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

Any updates Brett?! I'm still awaiting a response from my mom from the neurologist.

[Brett]

This morning she went down for a CT scan again, Since her drain tube from her head was clamped 48 hours ago, her brain has been draining on its own like our brain does, so the CT scan was done to confrim what the numbers were showing and the removed it this morning. So her brain now has no tubes. Today at 1:30 they will give insert a tube through her belly that will gi directly into her stomach so they can start giving her higher doses of nutrients/liquid food so it doesnt have to go through a thin tube in her mouth, so I hope this may give her more so it will give her more strength, But I dont know if this one will deliver the same or more nutrients to her.

She still though does not respond to command or wake up.

geez i hate seeing her like this....it really tore Tash up too....she held it together pretty good while we were there tho she's gonna pull through my friend....just let her rest & KEEP TALKING TO HER!!!

[Brett]

I am bro, I talk to her, give her kisses, etc

[Kevykev]

My Fiance Traci, in Radiology, is up there today. I told her to give you a shout.

[Brett]

No updates today, only new thing I saw her do today was she yawned a few times and thats new, But still she has not tried to wake up. I am so scared guys.... I am so scared she will not wake up or she will not be able to.

Only other thing today was when they were doing the suction on her mouth again (Which you all know by my other updates she always fights them on that) she bit down on the tube and when the nurse tried to pull it from her mouth Leisa wouldnt let go of it, and she had to keep yanking on it hard to, and finally just had to take her hand off it for a second, so Leisa would relax and let go. Granted I know she doesnt do this consciously but is cute to see her do it.

Her left side seems a tad stronger to and she did do full body stretches today where both arms, both legs and her body was stretching real hard.
