Update

Checked In

We are all settled in here at a very nice hospice facility in Dayton.  We had a good time with family.  Lori is not in much pain but she is sometimes uncomfortable because of the constant fluid buildup, but we have a good drainage schedule now so it’s better.  She’s mostly unresponsive.  We feel really lucky and blessed when she replies to a question or says I love you back.  Her liver numbers are all off the chart so it’s not functioning at all anymore.  We don’t have a timeline, but we’re ready for days or potentially weeks because she is young and otherwise strong.  Thank you everyone for the prayers.  Lori would remind us that things happen when we pray.

    All of you are in our constant thoughts and prayers. As Carol’s birthday approaches tomorrow we are thankful that God will allow her more time with her baby girl, Lori. May the wings of the angels brush your hearts and souls with peace and rest. May God continue to bless Lori with the wisdom and strength that we all know she is surviving each day from.
