Saturday night

Hi all: I want to say that I (and the whole family) appreciate all the prayers that are being lifted for Jeremy and us. His day today was a busy one--they extubated him which allowed us to communicate with him, they put in a greenfield filter to help collect any clots that might be floating around in his system, they moved him, pictured him and just plain pestered him all day! He had a lot of friends come to show support, and of course the family was there. Tonight, he instructed his father and I to go to Niki's house to get some sleep--I'm sure he knew that we slept in the waiting room last night (real comfortable chairs--yeah right). He said that he just wanted to get a good nights sleep and be ready for tomorrow. When Ron left the nurse indicated that they are going to try and get him to his regular room tomorrow, and out of ICU which will be wonderful! The prognosis still has not changed from the original, but we are all coming to terms with it, and also realize that miracles happen every day and that maybe it's our turn! Of course, the surgeons are saying that time will tell once the swelling has gone away and he starts getting some therapy. I will keep you posted, or Jeremy might even decide to take over his own blog if he gets to his room tomorrow. Again, time will tell! Just be assured that we REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT EVERYONE IS DOING FOR US AND FOR YOUR PRAYERS! Love to you all--Carm

We take care of our own, in any and every way that we can.
Good to hear that Jer is getting out of ICU. I'm sad I won't be able to make it up tomorrow, I have to work and can't get out of it. I'm planning on coming up on Tuesday.

Ron, Carm, Jeremy, Niki, Val, Chris & Zach,

We are thinking of you all and keeping you in our prayers that Jeremy has a full recovery and hoping that Zach is doing better, too.

If you need ANYTHING, PLEASE call us. I am available during the week - I can run errands for you, run something up to you at the hospital or do something that needs attention at the store. (Sorry I don't know how to make cheese though!)

Hi, Carm. I spoke to Jansen on Saturday and he told me about Jeremy, which I passed on the Celia. While there isn't much we can do, we can pray and you all are in our prayers. Every day, every hour will be offered to God for Jeremy's miracle. Be strong and know that people care about you all.

With love to all
David & Elena Casscles, Sherburne
