Thursday Afternoon Update:
I just spoke with Tito again and she filled me in a little more on Lori's status. She had a very good day yesterday, had lots of visitors, and seemed to be doing outstanding, however, due to the severity of her head injury, Lori doesn't realize the true depths of her head trama. Today was an extremely hard day for her and she may have realized now how severe it is. The doctors have asked the family to keep the visitors down to only extreme immediate family. Dennis and her mom are still with her now. She is unable to get any rest at night b/c she is still in ICU and there are just a ton of noises that prevent her from getting the rest she needs to heal.
So please keep Lori in your prayers, she is definetly not in the clear yet. She is an extremely tough-admirable person that we all want to see recover from this accident better than before, but in order for her to do that, she has to realize how serious she was injured. The doctors have raised concerns on a couple of things that they are gonna stay on top of to make sure Lori gets the best of care and nothing is overlooked. The most important thing right now is that she rests and that has been very hard for her. She is so anxious to get up and out and back on to her busy life, but what we HAVE to make her do is rest, rest, and rest some more!
If you would like to let Lori know that you are thinking and praying for her or to send her your best, post on here and Tito or I will make sure she gets them or you can certainly mail her a card to the address posted earlier. Thank you all for your prayers and please keep them coming! I'll keep updating her progress as well so everyone can stay informed.
