• Update

  This is Adam again. Manda had her spleen out this morning. Her condition remains critical. It all depends on how she handles the night. She's awake now and (as you can imagine) quite uncomfortable. She will get her third dose of Loritab tonight at 8:30CST. That should make her more comfortable (high), and hopefully she'll fall asleep.

  Most of our family has been able to make it. Our youngest brother will not be able to make it until his classes let out on Thursday. Our brother from Houston made it in last night, but our sister from Amarillo is still trying to make arrangements for her newborn. Our father's wife's sons made a point to have dinner with Amanda. She feels comfortable, but obviously wants our whole family here.

  She was pretty loopy after surgery and demanded that we snap a picture of the wires sticking out of her midget hand. To her; "They look like vampire snake monsters!" She is still clearly herself, just extremely altered by narcotics.

  

  After tonight we will know her long-term prognosis. She is hanging in well for now. Thanks for all the kind wishes.
