Melisa has had a lot of visitors the past few days and is now starting to be awake to see them all! She has had a very busy weekend (with people in and out) and so today she was getting some much needed rest most of the day. She has had a slight fever at various points over the past few days but the nurses are keeping a close eye on her temp. at all times and keeping a cooling blanket on her when necessary to cool her down. Melisa really wants to be off of the ventilator and writes this to us often. Her regular Pulmonologist will be back in tomorrow so maybe we will hear an approximation of when she may be able to come off of the machine. We make sure and tell Mel all of the time how many people are thinking about her and praying for her and the cards people have sent (along with some of Aidan's art work) are decorating her room!
