Updates

From yesterday: The doctors said that Jerred is doing better, but still has a rough road ahead. His left lung in severely bruised and he has a broken shoulder blade, several broken ribs, and a small laceration on his spleen. The main concern is his lungs. He is still on the ventilator and they put in a feeding tube. He is responding well, giving thumbs up, and writing notes.

This morning: Brian, Taylor, and I went up again last night to see him. He looks good. He squeezed my hand and I did get a little smile out of him. It still hurts my heart so badly to see him like that. You can tell he is still in some pain, and is very frustrated with all the tubes. Still has some fever. Taylor did not go in to see him the first night, but was very glad that he did last night. They wrote notes back and forth.

Talked to Cheryl first thing this morning and he is still doing well. They hope to get him off the ventilator today. Cheryl did finally get a little rest last night!!! Please, Please continue to keep them in your prayers. He is not out of the woods yet.

Also, my sister-in-law, Missy, lost her mother early this morning. Please pray for her and for my niece and nephew, Emily and Evan. They were at our house yesterday afternoon and all night last night. My other niece, Amanda, came over to stay with them last night while we went up to see Jerred.

Terrible storm came through last night and the electricity was off for over 8 hours.

It has been a LONG week already!
