Updates On Isabel: From Rick & Mary

From Rick & Mary

You all have been waiting for ... this update, this was not by design.

We are on day 16 and thanking God for many blessings, all your prayers and acts of love for Isabel and the Wimmer-Brown family.

Sunday morning Isabel had increased cranial pressure, a CT scan showed bleeding in the brain. The neurosurgeon said the bleeding could have occurred anytime over the last 6 days and found it unremarkable. The nurses were able to reduce the pressure with medication. Since then Isabel's ICP (inner cranial pressure) has remained normal to low! Her doctors believe she will be able to tolerate receiving a tracheotomy and feeding tube,which will help move along her recovery and are scheduled for tomorrow. According to her nurses, Isabel's recovery is moving in the right direction!

Pray with us:

Give thanks for today's news.
Isabel will tolerate tomorrow's procedures with normal ICP.
Thank the Lord for being with us according to His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Want to help? Here's how!

The purpose of this blog is to provide a place for all of us who are interested in learning about our dear Isabel. In this space the family will post information as it becomes available or as conditions change. It will also be a primary channel by which they will be able to communicate their needs, share their hopes and burdens.

If you want to be notified when new posts are published, simply register your email in the space provided at the bottom of this main page; that way you'll be automatically updated via an individual message sent directly to your email account.

In addition to this blog, we've also created two separate online calendars as a means of coordinating the outpouring of help for Isabel and her family. The first calendar is the place where individuals can go to sign-up for visitations with Isabel. If you want access to this calendar, send a message to Bill McDonald with the phrase CARECALENDAR ACCESS in the subject line.

A second calendar has been established that is focused on coordinating support for Isabel's family in areas related to childcare, food preparation, transportation and home support. To sign up for any of these vital family support needs, send your request to Sarah Oldham with the phrase CARECALENDAR ACCESS in the subject line.
