I am posting the journal entries from my sister’s CaringBridge site (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tracyslatoncrosson) in order to retain that documentation in our 2014 blog book. Check out the start of the series on my blog with the “My Sister” post.
No News Is No News

The upshot of today is what we already knew: Time will tell.
Cardiology tells us Tracy's heart is weak (unchanged since Friday), and she still needs medical help to keep her blood pressure adequate, but all that can be managed with medical support and eventually heal or be overcome.
Neurology says her brain shows no signs of swelling, or maybe a little bit of swelling (significant swelling would be very bad), and her EEG shows reduced brain activity (which of course is bad), but not none (which of course is worse). The bottom line is that there is no bottom line. She hasn't woken up, but she might at any time.
The doctors are talking about evaluation over the course of weeks, not hours or days. It's a long game, and we're just getting started.
