Tuesday, April 30 - Update on Reagan

It's early Tuesday morning from Salt Lake City. Reagan had a rather uneventful day yesterday and there has been no calls from the family during the night which is good news. This is her condition and update since Sunday:

* The doctors had to "undo" the surgery that was performed on Friday. They were able to put into two steel rods along her spine and is stabilizing her neck and head with a halo.
* She is not breathing on her own. Yesterday, they tried to cut the oxygen level down but had to raise it back up. She has attempted no breaths on her own since Sunday.
* All scans yesterday looked good.
* They are hoping today to begin letting her wake up some.

If you wish to write a card of encouragement to the McBrides, you may do so to this address:
Reagan McBride
Primary Children's Medical Center
100 North Medical Drive
Salt Lake City, Utah 84113

Continue to pray earnestly for Reagan, Allen, Jeri Ann, Brennen, the doctors, the nurses, the grandmothers (who are here until Saturday) and the other family members that are here or coming. Allen and Jeri Ann have not left the hospital since Friday.

Just a word about Sunday. WOW - what a great day of healing worship for our church. Our entire church body was experiencing great sorrow and heavy hearts over the weekend, but with focused times of prayer and worship - it helped to refresh our hearts.

It was great to have the Clemmons with us in view of a call as our Student Pastor. I understand Sunday night's youth service went very well. I look forward to hearing him preach tomorrow night.

Jason and Shae Walton and I fly home this afternoon.

Continue to pray!

Got a link yesterday with the picture of our newest baby in our church family. Landon Alexander McGee, son of Stephen and Becki McGee who was born April 15. See this fine looking young man here.
