Today the Neurologist called to let us know they have been weaning Shannon off the sedation, and she is responding to the questions they ask her. Lancer and Kim were able to FaceTime Shannon. She cracked open her eye a bit and stuck out her tongue when the Dr. asked her to. She had also moved her arms earlier when they asked her to, but was falling asleep when they were talking to her.
She remains in critical, stable condition, but it's nice to have them weaning her off the sedation so we can see that she is responding. We aren't out of the scary part of this yet; she still remains on her ventilator, and has a lot of healing of other vital organs that has to happen.
We are so very grateful for all of the prayers! Please keep them coming. This is still a long, hard road for Shannon and our family.
Please continue to pray that her vital organs and brain will function correctly,
that her COVID-19 will be negative and they will let her parents come be with her,
and that she will continue to be brave and strong.
Such good news ❣️
