Update June 28, 2010

It's amazing what a good nights sleep will do for a body.  Last night everyone left by 7pm with instructions given to the nurse not to allow any visitors at all.  This morning Corrine was doing so much better.  She was alert and watching TV.  Pain is still an issue but being kept under control.  Corrine was taken for more x-rays today.  They checked to see how her legs, pelvis, and lungs were doing.  Everything is looking good.  In fact her lungs are looking so good that they were able to take her off the ventilator.  Tonight she was looking and doing even better.  She isn't talking a whole lot yet because her throat is sore from the tubes.  But it is good to see Corrine's beautiful smile and hear her voice when she does talk. 

Updates on Corrine June 27

We just got back from the hospital visiting Damon and Corrine.  Damon is doing surprisingly well.  It is obviously still a struggle and an emotional roller coaster.  But given all that has been thrown at him he really is doing surprisingly well.

The doctors said today that all of her internal organs are doing really well.  She has not had any blood in any of her drainage tubes since things have calmed down from surgery yesterday.  They believe that her spleen was the bleeding problem.  With that gone she is doing much better.  The swelling in her hands and face has gone down even more since last night.  In fact they had to put a smaller neck brace on her because she has shrunk so much.  Things are starting to look up. 

The doctors have said that Corrine is not getting enough sleep due to the number of visits she is receiving.  Every time someone walks into her room and says her name loudly or touches her hand it startles her awake and it takes her time to calm down to go back to sleep.  They have strongly suggested that we keep the amount of people visiting to a minimum.  We know that you all love Corrine so much and want to see her and let her know that you are there for her, but we would like to follow the suggestions of the doctors and ask that at this time visiting from friends stop.  We are sorry that it has to be this way, but we need to think of what is best for Corrine at this time.  When she is up for visitors we will definitely let you know.  If you would still like to come visit Damon you are more then welcome to visit him in the waiting room.  I know he would appreciate the love and support from the visits.

Donation Account and Corrine Update

So many of you have already made your way to Wells Fargo to so generously help with the financial end of this ordeal and were told that there wasn't an account set up.  If you went yesterday morning that is true.  We didn't realize so many of you would respond so quickly.  That gesture in and of itself has meant so much to Damon and the whole family already.  The account has now been set up.  You can still go to any Wells Fargo, the account is under Corrine Hopkins Frazier. 

We are keenly aware of how much good there still is in the world of so much bad by all the love we have felt from each of you.  We appreciate every gesture of concern and desire to help.  Thank you so much for all the support you have all given to the family already.

As of 10:00 last night Corrine was still listed as critical but looking much better.  Some of the swelling in her face and hands has gone down.  She is resting and working on healing know.  We will continue to post update as they come about.

Updates as of June 26, 2010

This morning Corrine was taken back into surgery.  They removed her spleen and checked out everything else to make sure she wasn't bleeding anymore.  They were then able to close her abdomen completely.  At this point they have her sedated so that she can get some rest and so her body can start to heal. 

Damon was also able to bring Livi back up for a little while this morning.  To see her again and let some of his family who hadn't had a chance to see her hold her and love her for a few minutes. 

I promise we will post more pictures but I wanted to get the update out so that you all knew what was going on as of now.

Fast

There has been a ward fast set for this Sunday for the Frazier family.  We invite anyone who would like to join in this fast. 

Again we appreciate all your prayers and support.

Our Dear Livi

Livi Abighail Frazier

Born at 1:02 pm June 24, 2010.  

She weighed 3 lbs 8 oz and was 16 1/2 inches long. 

This perfect little angel left this world before she really had a chance to come into this world.  Livi returned to her Heavenly Father after saving her mothers life.  What an amazing spiritual giant this little girl is.   

Donation Account

There has been a donation account set up for Corrine and Damon.  It has been set up at Wells Fargo.  Right now it is set up under the name Janet Hopkins (Corrine's mom).  It will eventually be changed to Corrine and Damon Frazier.  If you would like to help financially you can go to any Wells Fargo. 

We appreciate all the support and help given already and want to thank you in advance for all the support and help that is yet to come.
