June 12

Mom is more unresponsive today. It is very hard for her to stay awake for longer than a couple of minutes. Her breathing is more labored. Kathie was shown mom's chest x-ray and it still shows fluid in the lower portion of her lungs. They are going to increase the pressure on her bipap machine to help her breathing be easier. For the past few days mom has only been on the bipap machine during the night, but they plan on putting her on it again a few times during the day to help her get the deep breaths that she needs. We keep watching for her neutrophil count to go up, but again today it was still at .1. Yesterday afternoon I was able to read some more messages to her that people have sent and some more of your memories and tributes. I know she liked that. She didn't have much to say, but she kept smiling.

Be like Lulie today and keep smiling!
