Journal entry by Lauren Pannell —
Everything went great this morning, and Mom's track has been removed!! Yay -- Another victory!The next hurdle she will have to overcome is to regain complete use of her voice. When her doctor was preparing to remove her trach, he took a picture of her voice box, and found that she has a nodule that is keeping her from having the normal use of her voice. The nodule may need to removed later, but for now he is recommending that she just rest her voice.
We are so pleased with her progress and thank God for bringing her so far! We also thank you all for your prayers, support, encouraging words, and anything else you did for Mommy and the rest of our family during this difficult time. Although that chapter of her journey is complete, Mommy still has a few more hurdles to overcome. With the help of God, her strong will, and your continued prayers and support, we know she will recover and be back to living life to be soon.
Thank you all again! We love you all!
