Thank you!

I have never felt such an out pouring of love and kindness. All the prayers, service and love that everyone has given are so truly appreciated! I am so glad to have such wonderful family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances and even strangers in my life who are such an example of Christlike love.

I am planning to post the videos and layouts and additional memories of Aimee here once the funeral is over so that Aimee's memory will live on.

Much love,
Wendee

    My heart aches for your family. I am a stranger who saw a post on ScrapGirls. I just want to lift you up in prayer right now, so I will. LORD, please surround this family with your love. Hold them TIGHT and COMFORT them as they walk through this darkness. Place family and friends in their path in the the days, weeks, months, and years to come as they grieve the loss of their beloved Aimee. May this tragedy not cause them to doubt your love, but draw them closer to You. Amen.

Friday Update

I'm sorry if we didn't get you called and you find out this way, but my sweet Aimee didn't surive. She's still on a respirator so her heart is beating but she's not with us. I'm really struggling right now. We haven't told our younger kids yet and I need to get some sleep so I can think. I'll try to post again later today.

later, but still early Friday morning

While the procedure went well and they were able to clear some of the clotting away, all is not done. A CT scan after the procedure showed that some of the key clots were cleared, but there was still a lot of clots and more bleeding. There pressure was high enough that bleeding continued in the spinal cortex region. At one point, after being moved back to the critical care unit, Aimee had a heart attack because the pressure in her head was still too high. The doctors were there and her blood pressure dropped to 0 for only a few seconds before they were able to assist the heart. At that point, they decided that the best thing to reduce the pressure was medicate her into a deep coma. That is where things are right now. Aimee appears to be resting peacefully as the doctors watch. It is now a time to wait and see what will happen next. As one Doctor put it, she is in the woods and we are taking things hour by hour. We are hoping and praying for the best.

Tuesday's Early Morning Update

The radiologists reviewed the MRIs and they now think that it doesn't appear that she has too much cerebral spinal fluid. Sunday they thought that was a subdural hematoma (small bleed in between the brain and skull). They now think that the vessels that take the blood away from the brain are clogged with a clot. They think that Aimee was not drinking enough water recently and the dehydration caused the blood to thicken in those vessels. This means that there is plenty of blood going into the brain, but it's having a hard time leaving which again is causing pressure. Their plan is to keep her on iv fluids and get her really hydrated and possibly start some blood thinners tomorrow. They aren't planning on doing a spinal tap at this point, but that could change.
