August 23 (also 21 and 22) Betsy

Hi

It was a busy weekend for Pat. Her ICP was up to 25 on Sunday which means more morphine drip. She was also given whole blood. Kay and Larry were pretty echausted. Chip and Scarlet arrived on Sunday. Monday Pat's ICP came down , so they used morphine injection. They want Pat to be a little more awake. Larry reports that her eyes open slightly then shut quickly when she is tired. Sounds like a better day for Pat.

T

he explanation for the usage of the green sleeve is because of Pats condition they cannot thin the blood to prevent blood clots. Phil and Kristie returned and Phil reports that Larry is going as fast as he can. Phil trained Larry and Kay on the internet and how to use Pat's computer.

Larry thanks everyone for their love and prayers.

I am sorry that I don't know any more at this time. Phil reports that even with tubes coming out of everywhere Pat is beautiful and very peaceful. Phil took alot of pictures and will post them to the website. http://www.upski.com/pat

Love to Pat and Larry

This is Phil, back from SLC. There just wasn't time to update the website from the road as planned . The pictures will appear over the next few days.

Your email to Pat & Larry

Currently I am forwarding the email I get to Debra who is printing it for a scrapbook and to Betsy who is checking to make sure you are on her mail list. Betsy and I are working on a round-robin mail list so that everyone who wants to participate can share their thoughts and prayers with Pat and Larry's extended family directly. (A listserv).
