MONDAY 26TH UPDATE-WE LOVE YOU CHRISTINE

Great news!  Christine opened her eyes for the first time when Kathy called her name, although, she didn't make eye contact yet.  Still, it is a positive step forward.  She will be having another surgery on Tuesday to check all of her organs again.  Her abdomen will be closed at that time, as long as there's no further infection or complications.  They also hope to remove the respirator from her mouth, so they will most likely perform a tracheotomy.  Basically, it's a small incision into the throat, so that they can continue to help with her respiration(breathing).  She is improving slowly, but she is still critical.  The hope is to be able to move her down here after she is out of intensive care.  If she continues to improve, that will hopefully be in several weeks.  Thank you for all of your prayers and support for Christine and the family.

I know you still have a long road ahead of you but you have a huge support system who will be right by your side through it all. The girls are still saying prayers every night before bed for you and now have been saying them at the dinner table as well. They keep asking when can they see you and do your hair. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. We miss you and cant wait to see you! xoxo
