Thank you all for waiting and praying! Nancy and Burt took a much needed nap this afternoon and headed back to the hospital around 7pm. Here's what they shared at that time...
* They are still awaiting the MRI results which will hopefully give them some answers as to why Rachael has a fever.
* She has some reactionary movement in the eyes.
* She has responded to verbal commands, such as squeezing her hands and moving her foot when asked to do so. The time that she is responsive like this is short as she goes back to sleep but this is exciting news!!
Many have asked what they can do to help and right now they truely just covet your prayers for Rachael and for the family. When things settled down a bit, they will have a better idea of how people can practically help. So thank you to all who have asked!
I will try to keep you all as updated as possible. In the meantime, we've set up an email account for Rachael so you can send her words of encouragement. The family will read these to her while in the hospital. The email address is LovetoRachael@gmail.com
Thanks!
Christine

An MRI is scheduled for concerns regarding her fever.
We continue in prayer that God will wake her up.
She is off sedation.
Burt
Christine speaking-I might add to pray not only for Rachael but also for Nancy & Burt as well as Dan and Hannah, her brother and sister. I imagine some amount of sleep deprivation will be settling in here soon. Pray for peace and comfort. Thank you.
4:45AM UPDATE-Thank you for continuing to pray!
Rachael has a gag reflex verifed by the pulmonary specialist and is able to move her legs and feet inreaction to a needle stick and an xray board slipped behind her back. We also believe she moved her left foot voluntarily. this is a great start. God is waking her up. PRAY-PRAY-PRAY
We thank you, our prayer warriors! Please continue.
Also her acid levels are getting inline as well. Glory be to God.
Burt
3:30AM UPDATE-Thank you for continuing to pray!
Rachael's temp has been climbing very slowly. Fears at first were that her temp would spike once the hypothermic protocol was stopped. Her fever did not spike. She is now off the Dilada and Antavan and as she wakes, we would hope for some signs of neurological activity. We have not seen any yet except for movements that can not be considered willful. We now wait on the Lord to awaken her. Please pray that the Lord will wake her up. His will be done.

10pm UPDATE:
Rachael's body temp is around 98.4. The target temp was 93. The closest they got was abt 94 earlier today. She is running a fever. Why we are not sure of yet medically, but we know it is what God wants for her.
She still will be taken off cooling and they will begin lowering her meds. Keep in mind she is still on the ventilator and she will need to be weaned off that at an as yet unknown time.
She is in the hands of the master healer and we will wait upon our Lord. Please pray around midnight for noticable neurological functions.

Nancy performed CPR until the paramedics arrived. The hospital is using a hypothermia procedure to bring her body temperature down to assist in slowing down any additional damage. She is under sedation and is not conscious and remains on the breathing machine. As you can see from Christine's post, Rachel is making some progress, praise the Lord! The doctors are taking a reactionary and not proactive approach as they are not sure which organs have been affected. The next 36-48 hours are critical and will paint a clearer picture of her prognosis. Her right ankle was also broken during the accident. Rach' is a strong young woman and has an awesome relationship with Jesus. She is far from being out of the woods, please continue to pray."

>> UPDATE FROM BURT @ 10am:
>> Eeg shows low amplitude normal brain activity. No seizures. Dr in charge stated that though this is good news, they can not be proactive in cases like this, only reactive. The next test in line is the ekg. She also followed the light on her eyes and is responding to neddle pricks etc. Dr stated she is tenuious and critical. Please no visitors at this time we will be in touch. She is much better than upon her arrival. Our God is awsome and making a move! Please, keep praying! She still remains unconscience.
