Wednesday Morning Update

Aimee is sleeping now and had a good night. She's doing well on the Heparin and is also taking a medicine to reduce the pressure in her brain and they seem to be helping.

Yesterday was a really rough day so it's good to see her comfortable and able to rest. In the afternoon yesterday she was moved to the ICU and she was having some major pain issues and disorientation. Now that she's on scheduled pain meds and has the Valium and break through pain meds available she's much more comfortable and hasn't had another episode of confused responses. She has her own nurse that is in with us almost constantly and is monitoring her. They're taking really good care of her.

Last night she started drinking juice and in the middle of the night she even had a milk shake. That is the first "food" she's had since Sunday. They've been keeping her very hydrated with iv fluids, but it's good to see her having a desire to eat and drink again.

Thanks again for all your prayers, love and support! It means the word to us to have such supportive family and friends! If you're not comfortable posting a comment feel free to email me and I'll pass the message along to Aimee and respond as I have time. Love to you all!

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.

Aimee's Marker

It's been awhile since I've posted. Things are still up and down for me. I sometimes feel guilty when I have good days. I think that is odd, but I try to remind myself that Aimee wouldn't want me to be miserable the rest of my life. It just feels like a betrayal to have a good day. I know that isn't true and I do combat those thoughts it's just another part of my grieving process. Next Thursday is Aimee's birthday. She would have been 18 years old. At times I feel cheated, but I know somehow, someday God will make it all right. We are going to do Aimee's temple work on her birthday. I'm really glad we're going to do something so positive on such a difficult day. I feel sad that it is the last thing I can do for her and in some ways want to save it for later, but I feel like this is the best thing for all of us. I don't want to stall her eternal progression and I think it will be wonderful to feel her so close in the temple that day! On Monday...

Video of Aimee Singing

I thought that as time went on it would get easier and I wouldn't hurt so much, but honestly it's getting harder. It seems wrong to me that life can just go on as usual without Aimee here. I'm finding joy here and there, but it is all mixed in with sorrow. It's odd to me that such opposite emotions can coexist. I want to remember the happy times with Aimee and not focus so much on the absence, but that doesn't always work so well. Today I was looking at old videos and decided to edit one and post it here. Last year at Herriman High Aimee was in the Theater Showcase. She was so excited and chose to sing "I Know it's Today" from Shrek the Musical. Jann Boyer , Aimee's voice teacher, helped her pick out the song. We had fun going to Hale Theater's costume rental site and picking out the dress she wore. She also had some last minute rehearsals with Jann that she loved! Aimee did an amazing job performing this song! She has such a beautiful vo...
