Carrie had a scary night last night.From me: I am sensing in my prayers the weariness, the exhaustion, of the parents, who still have several young children at home; that the parents and other adult caregivers need gusts of grace and sustaining grace and rest for this present time.We've heard from Carrie's mom and her mom's sister, P, this morning. P and her husband, D, drove over last night--through bad driving conditions--blizzard and snow. That's the kind of weather Carrie was driving in last Thursday to get to work.
A volunteer med vac young man came to see the family at the hospital last night and told them they were at the scene right away and had Carrie ready by the time the paid EMS people got there through the snow. Driving was very bad. They wanted an Air Vac to move Carrie, but they couldn't fly -- blizzard weather -- too dangerous. A Sheriff was a few hundred yards behind Carrie's car and was able to quickly rally the necessary support.
Carrie had an up and down night. It was hard on Carrie to be moved for the CT scan. P said the neurosurgeon said they didn't find anything unusual with it. They needed to get her swelling down, so they injected saline. That helped one thing, but her blood pressure went up. They did something with sugar injection and her heart beat too rapidly.
I may be wrong about what affected what in the last few sentences, but they were working diligently trying to get Carrie stabilized. Her cranial pressure went up too high last night, but it seems to be coming down now.
It's really good P and her husband D there. They will be able to make life a bit easier for Carrie's parents and sister, L.
Love, [my aunt and uncle]

Gosh, Gretchen. Words fail me, but as promised I'm checking daily for your updates and praying for Carrie all the time. I can't imagine how exhausted and anxious everybody must be. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. {{{Hugs}}}
