I've talked to my aunt Lanore and found out that the new doctor (Dr. Lenz) has taken Andrea off of the blood pressure meds that keep her blood pressure up since she seems to be maintaining on her own and doesn't need them. Her lungs are still clear and her white blood cell count has remained down for four days now. Dr. Lenz met with the team of doctors and discussed Andrea today and they all agreed to NOT take her off of life support. Is that WONDERFUL news?!! They are already cutting back on her pain meds and she appears to be resting better than she was before.

I still don't trust that hospital...... I think the family would all collapse if the process started over again.

Thanks everyone for all the continued support. The mass prayers are working!

This isn't the end of this. There is a long road ahead for her recovery AND we need to get rid of this law! I keep thinking.... what are they going to do to me in 15 years when I'm her age?!
