Day #85

Mom had to come back home today to return to work. This was very difficult for her as Jennifer is still unable to push the Call button if she needs the nurse & Jennifer still wakes in the night & calls out "Mom". When I spoke to Mom earlier today she was on her way home & was crying. She was heartbroken because of how upset Jennifer got when Mom told her she had to come home. Mom will be going back to St. Louis on her days off. Mom is very worried not only about Jennifer being alone at night & not being able to call the nurse but also because she's still not able to see very well & can't move her left arm & leg. She also has developed a bladder infection.

David is staying with Jennifer tonight because Jennifer has a dr appt at 8:00 in the morning for a CAT scan to see how her hip is healing & to determine if she is ready to begin weight bearing physical therapy. Please pray that the CAT scan goes well. The drs say once they are able to begin weight bearing physical therapy, her motor skills should start to improve more quickly.

Please continue to pray for Jennifer's head-to-toe healing as well as for her to cope well without someone there at all times with her.

Love,
Lynn
