Abi update



See her cute braids...

Today they shaved a portion of Abi's head to place a BOLT. Essentially a bolt is a fiber optic cable that goes about 1- 1/2 inches into her brain to monitor her brain pressures. She was only responding to pain today not commands and the Neuro-surgeon was concerned. They also gave her some blood because some of her levels were off and that was also a concern. She was placed back on sedation meds.

Abi also has a new email address that her dad set up. This is for anyone who wants to write her a message. We will print off the emails and bring them to the hospital.  The address is
Weloveyouabi@yahoo.com

Abi's brother and sister from Florida are trying to get on a plane to come see her. Please pray the they will be able to get on a flight and that they won't have any issues getting here as they are using buddy passes.

Stephanie decided we are going to get abi the board game "operation" to play while she is healing when she comes too. We are going to put her face on the guy.

Abi goes back to surgery at noon tomorrow for her abdomen they need to start closing that up. However with the swelling that is not possible. They are going to put in some sutures, maybe one or 2 on top and bottom of the incision it will take 3-4 more surgeries to get her put back together, but they need to start getting her closed up little by little. Also they can not fix her pelvis because it is broken in the back, they would have to have her on her side or belly to do that and with her open abdomen that is not possible. I will post more later and keep you updated. The hospital has a medical library with computer use available!  Wooo HOOO!

Abi, Words cannot express how much we love you. We are praying for you daily and sometimes hourly, every time you come to mind. We pray that God helps in giving you super natural comfort during this time. We came up to see you, however, you were under procedures that didn't allow us to come in. We stayed for awhile and visited with your dad. Can't wait to see you again. You are a fighter and we know that you will pull through --Mike, Peggy, and George

Abi is a strong, beautiful, sweet, and unique woman. She is a one of a kind that helps fuel the light in this dark world. That's why we need abi. She was always the one to remind me to look at life in a positive way even when the time is as negative as it gets. Her and Steph always know how to laugh when even nobody else is. :) I pray for abi and her friends and family several times everyday. I believe if enough people do this, her guardian angel will remind her to be strong and give her the strength from us all. God bless u all who are helping her and her family through this.

We were so excited about running down the church aisle cuz Jesus was alive. Hee hee we are nerds, but were cute nerds. Be strong cuz this serious world needs a goofball like u. Let ur angels guide u sweetheart. Love u much! Muah
