Dear Ness
Ness, what we would give to have a cup of tea with you right now. To see your smile, to hear you laugh. Instead your in a place of support and care. For now we will visit you there. Know that you are loved as you are held in prayer and support by those who know and care for you....

The update is
We have actually had some good news. Her brain pressure levels have dropped. They think that she may have been allergic to one of the salt solutions that they had been giving her. She isn't out of the woods - but we are so pleased after yesterday to get some good news!
We got this update from her sister,tonight.
all praise be to God

... Ok... things may not be as good as we thought. The have taken her off the sedation completely but she still isn't responding. Her top and front brain have stopped increasing in swelling but they haven't gone down. We may have to make another decision in the next 48 hours...

I just got this message
Update: we have all just come into the hospital to talk directly to the specialist. He is quite happy with her 'behavior' today. She has a bit of a temp and also a clot in her leg but both are being dealt with by medication.
So good seeing ness moving her shoulders and trying to squeeze my hand... She isn't awake but she is definitely moving when we talk to her... I have challenged her to a thumb wrestle next time I see her!!

Your prayers are beyond value, their effect is felt bringing sustencnace and refresh to many in a time of great heart ache. We are certain that this same divine intercesion is bringing ministry to Vanessa which gives us great comfort that while we wrestle with what to do, we are assured that HE is at work, PRAISE GOD!!!!

Update: We need her to start doing specific movements when we ask her too. So if prayers could be made specifically for her to hear what we are saying, process the command and then respond with the movement we would greatly appreciate it.

Update for Vanessa, to all Vanessa's faithful praying friends I thought I would give an update on what is happening. The Doctors told us last week that Vanessa's 'drain' was not working properly (draining the fuid from the brain), and that she only had a day or two to survive. That was over a week ago. Vanessa continues to baffle the Doctors and continues to 'fight on'. Vanessa looks well in herself, however, there is still no purposful movements or recognition. Vanessa is a constant amazement to the nurses and doctors and the witness that she is and the effect she is having on the staff is amazing. Thank you again for your prayers. We do not know what God's will is for Vanessa, we do know that He will be glorified through all this. This page is a testimony to the life Vanessa has led and to Jesus who she loved and served (even lying in a hospital bed). Please continue to pray for Vanessa, her family and for each other that God will uphold each one of us. Thanks again for your support
