Please keep Heidi in your prayers as she recovers from a serious wreck.  

Heidi was supposed to have surgery yesterday, but it was postponed until today...  Keep her in your prayers today. 

While she is expected to recover, Heidi's injuries are serious.  She will have a LONG and TOUGH road to recovery.

I'm hoping to receive some news soon after she's out of surgery.  I'll post here when I do...

Heidi's surgery is scheduled for 3:45 today...  Will update you later.

"Heidi had good day, I hear. This is my first day not there, but Libba and girls are there. She is still on vent, but pray that she gets off that soon!! Then she can start recovering and talking to us!!!! It's hard to read lips. Keep praying!!! Thanks..."

I'll keep you up to date with any information that I get...  If you know anything, please let me know, or post it here!

Thanks!

From Tina Boshell Wilson on facebook last night:

"Got some good news today...Heidi's nurse said that she was on the lowest setting today for the vent, and there is a good chance she will be off the vent tomorrow!!! Once that is out, things can really start getting better, she can talk to us, can start rehab for the pelvis, can just be communicative! I plan on going over tomorrow nite, and I cannot wait to hear her voice!!!!!!!!!!! Please pray for that!!!!!"

"I know that eventually Heidi will be reading this, so I won't reveal any deep, dark secrets, haha.  I have to laugh sometimes because otherwise I would be crying alot.  I saw Heidi last nite for the 8 pm visit, she wants the vent out so badly, and the nurse untied her hand to move something, and her hand immediately went for that tube down her throat.  We had to grab her and reassure her that it has to be there right now.

I did find out that she initiates every breath, that the vent only helps out at the end to get all the air out, since she can't completely clear lungs due to broken ribs.  I was glad to hear that!  She moved around alot last nite, trying to get comfortable.  I rubbed her feet a bit, and helped her move her legs to get in different positions.  I can only imagine how sore she is after laying flat of her back for the last week.  Today she is having a small procedure done to deal with the spleen, and I am PRAYING that the Lord allows that vent to come out afterward.  I hope she does well.  I am very torn, I would be there ALL DAY LONG if I could, especially on my days off, but I have 2 kids not in school, and that ICU is no place for them.  My sister in law Amy went last nite, and it is an eye-opener being with these people in the waiting room, whose loved ones are badly sick or injured.  There are still patients there from the tornado.  There are people who have lost limbs, brain function, etc.  And we share our stories out in the waiting room.  I saw a new family come in last nite, and I wanted to tell them "I know how you feel!"  They had looks on their faces of panic, fear, grief....at least I know Heidi will eventually be alrite.

I will post more later, gotta go make some icing for a cake for preschool teacher appreciation today, and I have a crying one year old that wants his Mommy.  Thanks to Ashley Goodwin Pearson for going to visit Heidi yesterday, and thanks for all the prayers.  Class of 1989, we are a special group, and I am proud to be a part of it.  Lift Heidi (and all of us who struggle) up today!  Post more soon..."
