Expenses continue to pile up.

And an update.

Jennell will be going to long term rehabilitation care so when she finally regains her muscle control, she will be able to come home.

Not a good update on this holiday season. But Rebecca asks folks to send good vibes and I'll def spread the word.

Jennell has taken a turn for the worse. She developed a lung infection and is now in emergency care while they are filling her with antibiotics and special wraps to reduce her body temperature. I’m standing vigil.

Better news in this update.

Jennell update: her temperature a moment ago was 98.9F. She beat the fever. I spent the past hour recounting to her what happened in the last three days. She has little memory of it. Thank goodness. \@Dark-towers-mom.bsky.social

Thankfully, there are more improvements in the latest update:

Jennell update: she has fully recovered from her infection. The tests came back that it was a urinary tract infection caused by EColi. She is back to training on how to sit in a chair and is breathing without machine assistance for a few hours a day. Still can’t move yet.

I noticed they increased the fundraising target to $100,000, so it seems their initial goal isn't going to be enough.

She's one of the good ones. I'm glad she's doing better. A long way to go still, so any help would be appreciated. Basically, if you've ever enjoyed playing a traditional adventure module, you have her to thank for it.

Just got news she is headed to the emergency room.

Update.

Jennell update. She’s been moved back to Dallas Presbyterian hospital, Hamon Tower, for observation of her infection. She’s stable at the moment.

Good update

Jennell Jaquays update: it’s been a week. Jennell was in the ICU for the last week and finally she’s healthy enough to be sent back to the rehabilitation hospital. They will move her tomorrow. She’s in good spirits and bored out of her mind.

Latest news and it’s a start.

Jennell update: She can talk! They put in a speech valve and she said her first words in two months. It will take some time before she has normal speech, but it’s a start. @dark-towers-mom.bsky.social
