Emily had a very quiet Saturday. She started shivering and trying to breathe over the respirator and her heart rate would go way up, so they needed change her medications a bit. The good news is the pressue in her brain stayed very low all day and when it did go up (she doesn't like being given a bath - go figure!), it came down quickly on it's own. All in all, a day meant to remind all of us that this is going to be a slow process.

It meant so much to me to meet the ski patrolman that got Emily down the hill last Sunday. There's really no way to thank him or any of the other people at Winter Park and the 7 Mile Clinic who worked so hard to get her to St. Anthony's so quickly. They were just phenomenal. It also helped to know a snow boarder stopped and was sitting with her after she fell. It's nice to know she wasn't alone up there. All the thoughts and prayers from her Winter Park family mean so much to all of us. Everybody comments on my strength - but I gain strength from seeing how many people care so much about Emily.
