Paul's Update: April 7 - 12:30am

There were only two things of note today, but both of them were very good
news.

First, the vasospasms appear to have ended. This morning's venal doppler of Karen's head confirmed what they saw yesterday, so it was the last one she will have. They are no longer needing to elevate her blood pressure, so today her pressure was back down to a more normal level.

Second, we were informed that tomorrow/Friday morning they intend to remove the breathing tube to allow Karen to breath on her own. The Doctors feel she is ready and they are anxious to see how she does. Once she has the breathing tube out, they can remove all sedatives and do a more complete evaluation of her condition, both mentally and physically.

So, Friday and the two or three days that follow should reveal many things.

Hello Paul and Rasmussen Family -

I just checking in this morning to see how things are going. You all continue to be in my prayers. I will pray that Karen handles these next few days well.

Take care,
Amanda

That is good news! I hope the next few days bring more positive steps. I know how much you are looking forward to hearing her voice again. I know I am. Tell her I hope to come visit her after Easter when I'm in NoVa for my kids' Spring Break. :)
