It is 8:49 am this on Monday morning. I am late on getting this out today because I was setting with Mary until now. She is pretty much unchanged throughout the night. She has been having some trouble with keeping her oxygen level up to the numbers they want. The nurses have been able to get it back up with puting an oxygen mask on for a little while. She will still say her name when asked, and all the other commands that the doctors ask her to do. She is very sleepy most of the time. I guess that rest and sleep are good for you. They are going to do an ultra sound on her legs today to make sure she has proper blood flow. When you are in bed for a week, your legs might not get the flow that they want. I can't believe we have been here for a week already. This is so hard for all of us to go through. I can't even imagine what my Mary is going through. She tries so hard to let us know what she is feeling. It breaks my heart that she is going through this. I don't know why this happened. I keep asking myself why. Why her. The doctors don't know how much for sure she will be affected by this. Only time will tell. Our kids had to go back to college today. Please pray for them to stay strong, as I know it is going to be hard for them think about anything else but their Mom. We just all love her so much, and want to come out of this and live a normal life. I know things are going to be different. I know Mary will be different in some way. The only thing that I know that will not change is our undying love for her. Please keep praying for her. Please keep thinking of her. She needs all your energy. Thanks.
