Now resting comfortably

Allison has been resting well since about 4:30am. They came in and removed her NG (nasal-gastric)tube that they were using to keep her stomach empty at about 9:30am. That really upset her for 1/2 hour or so but ultimately made her a lot more comfortable since she's not having to breathe around it and fight it in the back of her throat. We will be closely monitoring her the rest of this morning.

Jeff has to go back to work on Saturday and so we are really desperate for helpers to come up to the hospital on Saturday. Jeff will be back up to the hospital by 5pm or so but no one (so far) will be there to help Amy and Keala through the day. At this point we have all of Sunday covered. Thank you!

We are (for now) on the 10th floor in room 33. The phone # in the room is 503-418-5114.

Thank you all for your continued prayer and support!

Jeff and Amy

Dear Allison,

We have never met each other, but I'm praying for a good recovery for you--and rest for your parents. (I am your grandmother Donna's cousin in Illinois.)
Love,
Mark Taylor
