[Nfb-idaho] Monday afternoon update on Shelley Newhouse

[TYGH HALES]

Thank you Ramona for posting an update on Shelley yesterday afternoon. Tygh just got off the phone with Noel...Noel told us that Shelley is at least somewhat awake (but may not be completely awake/ aware.) We believe this means that she is off life support/ ventilator... Neol said that they were probably going to take the breathing tube out sometime later today... The drs are saying that they may transfer Shelley to Salt Lake (i'm thinking University of Utah Hospital) via airplane as early as tommorow or Wednesday:). Noel says that he will probably be driving down with some of Shelley's family.   As soon as Noel is able to give us more information/ an update, we will pass that info along.   If there is anyone who would be able and willing to contact the Utah NFB affiliate/ Salt Lake chapter, they may be able to visit (and or help them in other ways)  Noel & Shelley while they are down there, I am sure that the Newhouses would appreciate it.
