Evening Message

Hello Family & Friends,

I'm sorry I'm posting so late. My daughter had an urgent need I needed to help her with.

I haven't had an update this evening by phone or email, but I know Mom & Dad Kohls would have called me right away if there was something urgent to know. It may be that Troy and Mom & Dad just needed a little break tonight to rest. I'll contact them again tomorrow to see what new news there is.

May you be blessed through the night,
Sherri

P.S. Caryl, I got your message and had to leave tonight before I could respond. I'll write you tomorrow. (((HUG)))

Update as of 11:26am AZ Time

Angela had another Trascranial Doppler pressure test on the brain this morning and the readings were 7 points lower on the right side and 30 points lower on the left. Mom asked Troy if that was good or bad and he thought good but had not talked to the doctor about it yet.

This test is to determine the level of the vasospasms that she is experiencing in the brain. Lower numbers mean less intense spasms. I'll see if there is any new news about that later this afternoon.

Her temp is down to 100 degrees. Her eyes are partly open but Troy does not know if she sees him or not. She did respond with her right hand when the nurse asked her to squeeze her hand. Troy said there has been some movement with her left hand today.

** Please pray for peace and comfort to surround and infuse Angela as she begins waking up **

**PRAYER REQUESTS

Dear Family & Friends,

Mom Kohls has a wonderful idea which I wholeheartedly support. She wanted me to post a message saying that if you have any prayer requests please let us know. It would be our priviledge to lift you in prayer as you are lifting Angela and our family.

To make it a little easier, since there are so many people visiting Angela's blog, please feel free to email your prayer requests directly to my ministry email account (kofmministry@gmail.com) I will then make posts to the blog compliling the prayer requests so we can lift eachother up in prayer together.

** Thank You Mom, this is a wonderful idea and will bless so many people!! Love you!!

Avon Fundraiser

Tracy posted this comment, but I wanted to be sure it's on a main post so everyone can see it.

The Avon Fundraiser is still moving forward. I am finishing up last minute details and will have more information on where and how to order. Remember if you are from out of town you can go directly to the web site and order. Everything on the site will go toward the fundraiser so no need to identify yourself as part of the fundraiser. They will ship it directly to your house. It is such a blessing to hear Angela making such great strides. Go Ang Go!!!!!!!! Love, Tracy

Good Morning

Hello Loved Ones,

I haven't heard from the family yet this morning, but I will post as soon as I talk to them.

In the mean time, have a blessed day, give out some extra hugs, and use your own special gifts to bless at least one other person today.

Thank you for all of your prayers, support, and encouragement!!

*Update - As of 9:29pm AZ Time

Hello Dear Family & Friends,

Dad Kohls called me with these updates:

There are many things to be so thankful for today (and every day since the start).

*Angela's medical team has decreased her ventilator. She is now breathing 3/4 on her own.
*Her fever continues to hover around 101 degrees but this is positive since a fever indicates that the body is fighting an infection
*She is continuing to experience the vasospasms in her brain, however her team is monitoring this very closely. They are using medication to increase her blood pressure to 150. The reason why is so that when her blood vessels constrict during the spasms, the blood will still be forced through the veins, thus helping to avoid a stroke.
*She is moving her right arm and leg alot. Her left side, not so much. We will need to pray for strength and healing to her left side.
*The medical team has now taken Angela off of sedation and she will gradually become more and more awake.
*The swelling in her brain is now at "medium"

Please continue your diligent prayers. You are all making such a difference in Angela's recovery. I can only imagine the extreme pleasure it is bringing The Lord to hear so many people banding together in prayer for His daughter. When she is able to read this some day, she is going to be so blessed and so comforted because of ALL of you and how much love and support you've shown her through each minute of this experience. You are ALL truly a blessing and a comfort to us. Thank you so much.
