monday afternoon update -better news

julie has been downgraded from the ICU to "floor status." this is really good news. they are leaving her in the same room but have listed her in better condition. we are grateful for this! breathing seems to be much better, and the blood pressure issues are under control with meds. she is VERY groggy though. they have her heavily sedated on pain medicine so many times when there are visitors she isn't even awake to see them.... hopefully in a few days she will be more alert and conversational for those of you wanting to come see her. but overall today was a big break for julie. finally! gerald has been pushing her hard, to walk, to do her breathing treatments, and while she may be upset with him at times :) it is all so very worth it in her improvement. i follow in his lead and make her do things she doesn't always feel up to doing, but afterward she is glad she did. we are so blessed to have an AMAZING care staff, nurses, tech's, doctors, everyone at CTCA. it's been so much easier with them there caring for her in such a gifted way. and of course, thank you to all who have been praying, across town and across the country. i say it every time, but that's because i mean it every time... THANK YOU, and Glory to God in her healing...

-in Christ ,
