One more really quick update....

Wouldn't you know I got an update on Mandy just after posting this last one tonight. :)

YAY! Mandy is doing much better. She is now completely off the vent and is only getting oxygen through the trach. She is also still being tube fed but they have been able to increase the feedings to the full ammount and, so far, she is tolerating them well. They also moved her out of ICU to a room that is the "in between" stage between ICU and a regular room so hopefully she will get to be back in a regular room soon.

The doctors believe part of what was causing the problems with her colon was a virus and the other part is the colitis. The virus portion of the problem seems to have passed so now they are working on healing the ulcers on her colon caused by the colitis.

Please continue to remember Mandy and her family. Thank you so much for your prayers for her.... God has been working a miracle for her!!
