Hello Everyone,
Theresa called me with the following news and updates. This post will have some important information on it for everyone.
*The medical team removed the catheter that was draining the fluid from Angela's brain. Her body is now functioning by draining the fluids on it's own.
* Her doctor took her off of the blood pressure medication, as the spasms in the brain have pretty much subsided and the blood doesn't need to be pushed through the vains as a safety precaution any longer.
*Her morning CAT scan was very positive
* The medical team has moved Angela OUT OF INTENSIVE CARE!!!! Whoohooo!!!!!!!!!!
***IMPORTANT NOTES***
- Updates - From here on out updates may not be on a daily basis, depending on the importance of news to share. The blog will still be available and important information will be posted as soon as possible. Comments are still and always welcome so Angela will have lots and lots of wonderful things to read from you. Please also feel free to share prayer requests and praises.
The following information in is regards to Angela's new room and visitation. We need every one's help to be sure that during visits she is able to rest as much as possible. This is vital to her recovery.
- Please limit visits to 10-15 minutes until she is more stabilized.
- Friends - Please consider 1 visit per week per person/family to avoid a large influx of people on the medical staff and immediate family members until she is more stabilized. This will change over the course of her recovery as she becomes stronger.
** Troy wants me to go ahead and post her room information:
University of Nebraska Med. Center
Clarkson Tower
Room #6854
Finally and most importantly please join with me in a prayer of thanksgiving:
Lord God Almighty,
We praise You and thank You Lord for what You have done and are continuing to do for Angela, and for our family & friends. Lord, we thank You for Your love and mercy in letting us have Angela here with us to enjoy and cherish and that You have saved her life twice. Lord, we are priviledged to have this blog to be able to share with her, her family, and her friends and to testify of You and Your work in her life. Lord You deserve ALL of the honor, glory, and credit for the great thing You have done. Draw us even closer to Yourself Lord and may we never forget what You have done here and for all of us. Yeshua, You are Lord over all things! In Your name we pray, amen.

Thank you, Sherri, for your diligent dedication to updating the blog. It was a tremendous act of love. You were able to ease the hearts of those of us waiting patiently for news of Angela's recovery. With Sincere Gratitude. Tracy
Dear Friends,
We want to STRESS how important it is for Angela not to be overwhelmed with visitors at this point in her recovery. My wife and I are both critical care nurses and we want to speak from our experience. This is a critical time in Angela's recovery. She is going to need rest so that she has energy for the physical therapy that will allow her to regain her strength and her mind. Please, Please, Please try to keep your visits short and be mindful of her energy level. There will be times when she will need to rest during the day. With her move to a different unit the nurses will not be able to regulate the visitors as closely as was possible while she was in intensive care.
With cold and flu season upon us we want to reinforce some simple principles. Please DO NOT visit if you have a cough, fever, runny nose, sneezing, or any flu-like symptoms. Please ALWAYS remember to wash your hands before entering the room. This is one of the most simple and most powerful ways you can protect Angela from infection.
With love for Angela and Troy,
Chris and DeAnn Springer
