While it remains a concern that today the temperature in Atlanta approached 80 degrees, all of our prayers are focused on Anita's temperature decreasing and they are slowly being answered. Her body temperature has dropped down and is back in the double digits. Once her temperature stabilizes, and infection is ruled out, a decision regarding repairing her shoulder may be made. A nurse told Ed she is pleased with Anita's response in her fingers and her toes which helps to rule out many other issues.
At some point today the medical staff plans on adjusting her ventilator. It has been set in a position that may have impaired her ability to open one of her eyes completely. With a little adjustment they may be able to provide Anita a little more comfort.

To Anita and her family: Our continued thoughts and prayers are with you each day. Together with you we thank God for His mercy and his grace. May He continue to supply all of you with wisdom, strength, and courage.
Isaiah 43:2
When thou passest through the waters, God will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Dear Carwile's and Friends,
I have been so moved by the eloquent postings and am so glad to have a chance and a way to keep up with Anita's progress. It occurred to me as I was reading this blog, that despite Anita's not being able to speak at this point - it is clear that her spirit and what she has imparted on others is clearly being reflected in these notes on this site. Even without a voice, the echoes of Anita are loud and clear in the expressions of the family and friends! I am touched by the messages from friends. I am inspired by the love, clarity and honestly in her children's notes. And, I am moved by the obvious love shared between her and her husband.
We have been so fortunate to have Anita's help over the last few years here at Tech-Able. She graciously lent her talents as a volunteer to help individuals with disabilities in our community! We look forward to a day soon - when she will grace us with her friendly, social attitude and her solid support! I send my prayers and thoughts to Anita and her family - on behalf of all of her Friends at Tech-Able.
Kindly, Joe Tedesco
