ICU #15

We're still hopeful. Some good signs - kidneys are producing (although creatine is higher than normal), lactaid (which I think indicates something to do with organ breakdown) has decreased to a nearly normal level, she is more active when Lucille and I are there talking to her (but still not awake because of sedation). Still not sure when they'll take her to OR but the secretions from the tube from her stomach now looks like bile rather than bloody and the longer they wait, the more chance that the inflammation will subside and maybe they can save it. Lucille and I are not taking calls right now - please understand that it's hard for us to talk now.

    I love you. You're all on my mind. Reach out when ever you need to, Lorraine. I'm so glad Chris will be there with you to help bring strength to you, Lucille, and our Linda. Linda is fighting this! She's that kind of gal.
