Latest on Q

It looks like Susie will be able to come home tomorrow (Sunday) morning. As of last night she was still having some problems keeping her blood pressure down, but hopefully that will be resolved. The doctor has kept her visitors to a minimum and just for immediate family. She can only handle our visits for a short time and our goofy chatter has to be kept in check -- it's just too much stimulation for her and she can't handle it. Her beautiful little face is really puffed up by the heavy doses of steroids she's on to keep brain swelling down, but they will be reducing dosages soon. She is so grateful for all the love, prayers, and caring for our family that everyone has been giving us.

The girls and I (Scott) will be at my mom's viewing/visitation after I bring Susie home from the hospital tomorrow. We have some friends who will stay with Q at home. I know she wishes she could be there and at the funeral on Monday, but it would be too much for her. Susie really loved my mom and Mom really loved Q. Please continue to pray for my family during this time...especially my dad.

Love to you all,
Scott

I'm glad to know you will be going home tomorrow, Sus! I am so glad I was able to be with you this week. Tim and I had an easy drive home - I napped a bit while he drove! I'll be thinking of all of you as you celebrate Deb's life this week. I know you wish you could be there, but your healing is something she would have wanted, so keep resting!

I love you, Kath

Hi Suzie:
