We got an update from the neurologist(s). 4 neurologists reviewed the CT scan and have decided the best treatment for Elaine's vertebrae fracture is to affix a halo. The Halo will allow them to make sure the vertebrae heal in perfect alignment. Right now the second vertebrae is pushed forward slightly. With the use of weights on the halo for at least 6 weeks, the fracture will heal with alignment to prevent any spinal cord damage and loss of mobility.
Here is a website with information about the halo for you:

Elaine has been moved from ICU to a "step down" unit on the 11th floor. It is acute care still with limited visiting hours.
We will keep the information coming.
Please keep Elaine in your prayers.

To the Partin family,
The board of Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity (COAT) lifted prayer for all of you Thursday night. Ray Luther, pastor at Springfield Friends, told the board what a strong Christian witness you have been to the youth of this community.
We continue to keep you in our prayers as does the Upper Room Sunday school class at Archdale United Methodist Church. You are on the church's e-mail prayer chain.
Your faith will carry you through this journey.
