Wow. The comments have been amazing and encouraging. I am going to keep this short as I am exhausted and have not slept much in a few days.
Roxanne is sedated and very comfortable and resting. Her hemoglobin was down so they gave her 2 bags of blood. By this afternoon it was all back to ok. She still has coughing spells but not as bad as yesterday. They are still giving her antibiotics to fight the pneumonia and we are hoping they are working. Her breathing is 55% ventilator and 45% her own. That is better than last night. The doctors have decided they can not use the camera as it is to small to get an accurate reading of what is going on down in her lungs. They were going to do a swab/check of what the fluids are down in the lungs.
Michel and Nicole brought up fruit and water for us this morning. Thanks for everything you guys keep doing. A coworker of James's, Carolyn and Jana brought us up a wonderful lasagna caeser salad meal tonight. Carolyn has been a great inspiration for James and we greatly appreciate you. Thanks to Dennis Scott (teacher from Whitewood and a good friend of our family) for stopping by also. Justin had a great day with the Strueby grandkids. I believe Aunty Nadine and Grandma S took him to the Science centre. James is hanging in there.
Thanks to everyone for your continuous support.
The comments are overwhelming for me. I print them off and read them to Roxanne. She does not respond but I do believe that she is hearing me. Thanks for all the prayers and amazing words that you all use. It is very difficult for me to read them all. And of course I do shed alot of tears but it shows how much Roxanne has been an inspiration and how much she is loved by all.
Thank you, Thank you!!!! PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY
I must get some rest. I will talk more tomorrow and I hope this makes sense.

Hi Roxanne,
It's been many years since I've seen you last but want to tell you I think of you often every day. Although I can't imagine what you are going through, I do know how your family feels & desperately wants to "fix" this for you. Miracles do happen, Strueby family & I pray God has one for you. Keep fighting Roxanne. Fight with every breath you take.
God bless you & your family,

Dear Roxanne,
Just want you to know that I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family like I've never prayed before! You are one of the best people on the face of this earth and I really miss when we used to work together at the lodge, it was always a good day no matter what happened as long as you were there. You are strong a person and if anyone can pull through this I believe you can. I just don't know how this could happen, we love you and truely hope for the best.

Hiya Roxanne,
One of the greatest things about you is that you have always been determined to make others feel better inside and out. Now it's your turn to take that determination and give it back to yourself. I just want you and your family to know that we are praying for you. You're a fighter. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Roxanne,
I am incredibly blessed to have gotten to know you. I love how you love people and I love how you love God. You are an amazing woman. It was an honor for Allen and me to meet some of your family on Friday night. They love you so much.

Love and much prayer, Joan
To the Strueby and Brule family, I just heard about Roxanne's passing and I wanted to offer my condolences. I remember Roxanne at school always with a smile. I hope she can smile again.
God bless you all in this time.
