8/7/09 Not Much Going On

Jenna slept most of the day. The medicines she is on to deal with her drug withdrawal issues make her sleepy. While her kidneys are continuing to improve and the docs don't think she needs additional dialysis, her blood is not very clean due to the reduced kidney function. The toxins in her blood have taken away her appetite and also make her sleepy.

We seem to be in an "in between" time within the healing process. She can't increase her strength much until she is awake more. She can't be awake more until her medicines are tapered more and her kidneys are better. So we are in a time of slow progress and patience.

We continue to thank you and ask for your prayers for a full and speedy recovery for Ms. Jenna. We humbly request continued thoughtful prayer for all the kids at Cincy Children's and their families. Thank you again and continue to EXPECT GREAT THINGS.
