All of your prayers are working! Mom has had a big day of good changes!
Best of all, they removed her respirator tube! She can communicate! The first thing she wanted was water. That tube was so uncomfortable and even though they treated her regularly, she had little choice but suffer with a dry mouth. She has to whisper for a while and we are hoping her voice will be back to normal soon and not at all affected by the tube.
Yesterday they had taken the drain tube from her neck and today they removed the two she had in her lungs. They also removed another arterial port thay had in her groin. They had two for taking blood samples.
Today they also replaced the suction bandage on her arm with a fresh one and placed her in some special boots to keep her feet flexed and her calves stretched so she won't get too used to the relaxed position she has been in and have too much trouble getting back on her feet. This will also help with the plantar faciatis that she has struggled with previously.
She no longer needs a feeding tube in her nose and they have seriously reduced her sedation, just keeping her comfortable on pain relievers.
We never expected so much so soon but we'll take it! She can rest easier and continue to heal much more comfortably now.
Thanks again everyone, for your prayers and loving thoughts.
I wish I could have been there today.
Thanks Mary for being with us so much throughout this ordeal. It helped a lot!
Other good news: I'm about to get Mom's beloved hostel live on the internet, very soon. Also, look for a mention in the Arkansas Times!

Diane,John,Dean,Mary,and all who have been by my mom's side,thank you so much!I've appreciated the phone calls from John with important news and the blogspot that Diane has been so faithful in updating. I can't wait to be there in 6 days and hopefully Mom will be able to speak more than whispers by then! We are so blessed that she is so strong and resilient (both physically and mentally), traits we've always known she had that are really paying off now! My love and prayers remain with Mom and all of my family and friends who are tracking Linda's progress.~Mindy
WOW! What magnificent news. The Lord is bringing you miraculous healing, and our constant prayers for you are not only strengthening our friendship but they are bringing us ever closer to the God who has never left you at any time through this ordeal. God bless you, Linda and John. We are here for you for anything you need. Mary Ann Lee
Hallelujah! My prayers are with you Linda, and John, and Leslie and all of your family. Lisa Bobo
Linda, Mama(Dana Ritchie) told me what had happened just wanted you to know you are in our prayers and I know you will come back stronger than ever. Your friends in Abilene, Pam & Sarah
Diane, I wish you could have known your mom when she was young. She was always a happy, bright spirit. When she can understand, tell her that we were praying for her at the reunion. My choir prayed for her on the 15th, my church staff prayed for her this morning (21st) & I will have her in my church's prayer letter tomorrow. Needless to say, I pray for her each day. Love and blessings to you all. Grace Lindsey Weedman
