She's still holding her own. All vitals were stable this afternoon. Sandi (today's nurse) was really pleased when she able to get Linda to wiggle her toes (yeah!) and squeeze her hand (double yeah!!). Talked to this am's surgeon - said her stomach looked good, the pancreatitus has not gotten worse and the trach tube went in without a problem. There's still infection but she's on antibiotics and we just have to wait.
A huge surprise this afternoon - I was called to the ICU reception desk because 'a man from Vernon' was calling. Turned out it was Linda's favourite crib partner, Jim Young, and he was in the ICU waiting room! He took a slight (!) detour from Golden where he's visiting - just to see Linda. What a wonderful and kind visit - super to see him and get 'Vernon hugs'.
Dr. Temple (THE surgeon/magician who got rid of the pesky cancer) was in tonight and was pleased to see Linda responsive and glad that they waited to decide about her stomach until this am.
I am so glad you got to see Jim. Funny I was thinking of him today...
