Update September 30-October 1, 2007

Sierra was stable over the weekend, with the myclonus varying throughout each day. She has been breathing on her own regularly but is still attached to the ventilator (just to maintain pressure, I think).

Later today the nurse will check two hormone levels--cortisol and thyroxine (T4).

Today Sierra peaked opened her eyes several times and even yawned! We're excited about this progress.

-Pray for good results from the hormone tests
-Pray for complete removal from the ventilator
-Pray for wakefulness
-Thank God that Sierra's sodium level dropped to a good level (143) yesterday and remained good (140) today!
