[NFB-Idaho] Katy update 01-07

[President NFBIDAHO]

Thank you for the update. She needs to take it slow and easy.
I have heard how the ventilator can cause anxiety. She needs to let the
medications help her through this. Prayers Are with Katie, your family and
of course, for you. -----Original Message-----

Today marks day 21 of Katy's hospital stay. Early yesterday afternoon they
were able to completely extricate her from the ventilator. Glory be to God!

I
She is on high flow oxygen and over the past 24 hour they havebeen able to
gradually lower the flow and levels needed. She was also able to eat a
little apple sauce this morning.

Another blessing is that I was able to Face-time her  this morning with my
daughter and grandkids on the call. Though brief, it was so wonderful to
talk with her.

Katy is making slow but steady progress but still has a long way to go
before she will be able to leave the hospital. In fact, she is still in
ICU. An additional factor is now she  is being fairly heavily sedated due
to anxiety caused from the trauma of the ventilator experience.

Katy's condition is very fragil right now but I know your prayers are
helping and making a difference. She and I both thank you very much!

Kevin
