"We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and sheild. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."

Over the next few days, the high dosage of sedation is reduced in hope that they will see Sharon's natural reflexes respond. Because of the amount of time she has been sedated and the high dose, there is some concern that the brain would stop responding to reflexes. On Friday afternoon, we were told that she responded to the "gag" reflex and a pin-prick in her foot. A encouraging sign that her reflexes are working and active. Praise God for each babystep.
Sharon remains very swollen from the fluids she has been given. It appears to be a very delicate balance between needing to continue to provide fluids to keep her blood pressure stable and waiting for her swelling to decrease so the second part of the liver transplant surgery can be done.
The doctors have communicated that they are hoping for Monday to finish the surgery.
Strength will rise as we wait upon our Lord.
