Hello everyone. First, I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has been saying prayers, sending cards and helping us financially. I will post a formal thank you when this ordeal is over and Jeremy is home with me, so do not think I don't appreciate everything! Prayers are working :) Slowly, but surely he is getting a little better each day. Like Kirsten said, his kidneys are still not working, so he is getting dialisist every day for 3 hours (instead of 24 hours constantly). He liver showed a little improvement. His breathing is good... the setting on c-pap is 8 and his oxygen level is 40%. His heart rate has bumped back up to the 120's, but the docs aren't worried until it reaches the 130's. His blood pressure is around 130/45... they said not to worry about the bottom number at all (go figure). His white blood count went back up to 21,000... they want it around 15,000... so that means he still has a bit of an infection in his system. They did another culture today on urine and other fluids, but it will take a few days for results. They are still not sure if he had a stroke or not, because he is too large for an MRI or catscan. So they said they will let it go and see what happens. He lost use of his right foot because of it, so he has physical therapy every day now to try and help... no progress yet, but it takes time. Right now Jeremy is awake and cranky. He can't talk or write yet, so it's frustrating for us all. He keeps grabbing at his dressings and tubes, so yesterday they had his hands tied down. But he understand me enough to reply to "I love you". I knew he was feeling better, too, because he wanted to watch/listen to some comedy sitcoms on tv (that's my Jeremy). I watched the nurse change his dressing yesterday and it was quite different than I had expected. I thought there was going to be a gaping hole, but instead his insides were sticking out. I haven't had a chance to discuss this situation with Dr. Muscarella or any of his associates. Jeremy certainly has a lot ahead of him. I love him so much and will not give up on him. This morning he was apologizing to me, saying he was sorry for putting me through this. This isn't his fault at all! I hope he understood me when I said that. I'm not too good at lip reading, but I'm trying. The docs still haven't done the scope yet, and I'm not sure if they are going to. Whatever is best for Jeremy. Thank you again everyone for everything... this is more than I could have ever asked for! Miracles happen around this time of year... he is my miracle. :) Love, Robbi

Jeremy and Roberta, you are such a blessing and I'm praying for you every day. Stay blessed, get better so you can draw!!! I'm a graphic designer and know the love of art. You will be able to write this into a storyline my friend. Roberta, my prayers are with you as well to stand strong and stay healthy during this time! Many blessings on your lives!

HI everyone, I just got done talking to Roberta, Jeremy is doing okay today. He will be having dialysis as they were able to fix the problem with the line into his neck, I am sure this will help him to feel a bit better! They are hoping to do the scope of his heart today to see how things are there. Roberta says that Jeremy is able to hear them when they speak to him, and can nod his head, but is not yet able to talk or write messages, so she sits and tells him everything that is going on around him and tells him stories. They have received 30 get well cards so far and some very generous people have been helping with their hotel costs, this really gladdens my heart, as the Normans have all been through hell the last few weeks. It looks likely that they will be spending Christmas there now, and I just put a couple of Christmas cards in the mail to them, I know its going to be very hard for them, Robbie's Christmas wish is just that Jeremy gets better, they have such a pure love - and its so beautiful to be friends with this young couple and see that love in action! Thanks to everyone that has sent cards, helped with money and also for all the prayers - Jeremy really does have a circle of love around him right now! I will update again soon! Kirsten A.

Hi Everyone - just heard from Roberta, so thought I would post the latest I have on Jeremy! Thanks to everyone who is helping and sending good wishes - its really lifting their spirits! From Roberta: Jeremy is okay today. He is a little more awake. Dr Muscarella decided not to close his wound at all. he said it is much too late now and it will just heal on it's own and he will need a skin graft... ouch! they still can't explain his foot not responding... they are still thinking it's a stroke, although they can't test it to prove it was one. They did an ultra sound of his neck today to check for clots and they will do another t.e.e. test down his throat to check his heart again for clots or debris. They said he is tolerating the food in his tummy pretty well, even though it is only like a tablespoon each hour... it's still something. All in all it seems like a good day.
