The doctor is pleased with Erika's improvements in her lungs. The dream is for the special ventilator to be removed this afternoon and replaced with a "regular" one. This is a big improvement. She may still have a tear on the bronchis which will require surgery to fix. They opened Erika's bad eye and it reacted to the light, which is good.
Brittany is scheduled for a CT scan this afternoon. They are looking at her brain (to compare to previous scans) and of the chest area to make sure there is no damage to the heart or major vessels. They will also be doing a procedure at the same time to see if there is a small bowel injury (sounds similar to Jesse's). On the positive side Brittany's liver is stable and is beginning to heal.
Many people have offered to help meet the family's needs. The family is sincerely are grateful. The greatest need for the foreseeable future will be Alaska Air Miles. They will be making many trips between Fairbanks and Anchorage for the next several months. We will be working on the arrangements.
