MESSAGE FROM JOSHUA CHIU

Hey Friends!
Praise God! Just got off the phone with my Dad and Mom is much improved!  The doctors said that as of this morning, she was able to breathe on her own, but they still have not removed the ventillator tubes in fear of her airways collapsing.  Dad says that when he asks her to open her eye (right eye) if she can hear him or understand, she is able to do so, when not too tired.  She is also able to wiggle her toes at the doctor's request! Only thing of concern is that she still has no signs of motor function in her hands.Thank you for your continued prayers...

Hi Friends,

 

Please pray that:
1) My mom will regain consciousness.  Right now she is still non-responsive.  Even though she is sedated, the medication she's on is at a low dosage so it's not the medication that is keeping her from waking up.  They tried a few times to take the tubes out and she was not able to breathe on her own.  It's been close to 72 hours after the operation and she is still unconcsious & not able to breathe on her own.  Once she is able to breathe on her own, she can be moved out of the ICU.
2) The blood clot will resolve on its own quickly.  Right now the blood clot is not located in the area of her brain that would affect physical functioning when she wakes up.  However, the doctors are concerned that it could affect her mental functioning.  Please pray against any ill side effects both physical & mental from the blood clot.
