Update on Torey

Sorry for not updating sooner...hectic/awful week.

Torey is showing some improvement. She is still on the ventilator at 40% oxygen and the peep is at 7/10 (which is the pressure in her lungs). Thursday they took her for an xray and her right lung collapsed again, so now she has 2 chest tubes in her right lung and is in a LOT of pain because of that. Her xrays have shown improvement in the pneumonia, though, and the docs have said it is just going to be a very slow recovery, but she WILL recover. Her right lung has a lot of damage to it, though. She did start to run a fever a few days ago, so they were worried about infection, but they put in a picc line to help prevent some infection. She is still in ICU and are watching her closely. I wish I could be in Mobile with her!!!!!! UGH!

Keep her in your prayers!
