update on merissa

[recruitguru]

Merissa has pneumonia. The docs are worried more about her pneumonia than anything. She's going for a CAT scan tomorrow. She's trying to move her arms and legs. Once she gets better, she'll be moving into her own room and out of ICU!!! Other than that, she's still the same.

 

 

See ya'll at 7:00 at HVMC!!!!!!

Thanks to all who attended the prayer vigil tonight. Mr and Mrs Senor were awesome. Songs were sang, prayers were said. Shannon (Merissa's dad) said a prayer and thanked everyone that came. He also updated us on her condition. She has pneumonia. She will be having a cat scan tomorrow. The were worried about her not moving her right arm, but they discovered that her right collar bone is broke, and today she did move her right arm. The docs are still saying there is still a possiblity of some brain damage that will probably affect her right side. How much or how bad is anyone's guess. All we can all do is say prayers for her.

 

Lots of people have asked if there is anything that Merissa's family needs. I asked Shannon that. He said that people have been so generous that they could never eat the food or other things that the community has brought to the ICU. While we were there, a student at North (cant rememeber his name) brought in 4 large pizzas for everyone.

 

As of right now, only family is allowed to visit. For several reasons:

 

1-They have to keep the room quiet for Merissa

2-The doctors are afraid that if Merissa's friends see her in the condition they are in, they will freak out.

3-Merissa would be upset if her friends saw her in this condition.

 

So Shannon said as soon as the docs will allow friends to visit, he will let everyone know. The best thing anyone can do is pray.

Our family will be praying for this young girl's recovery and for her parents to have strength and comfort during this difficult time. Keep updating so we will know about her progress.
