ICU #21

Linda had a good, stable night. Just had a chance to sit in on Rounds - Dr. Ferland (ICU) was pleased with Linda's progress and commented on how she keeps fighting and getting stronger. We still may have some battles - she's at high risk for embolisms but the Team is taking precautions and inserting a filter in a major vein today which will catch any clots that may form. They're starting to wean her off the narcotic for pain slowly and hope for more consciousness during the next day or 2. Every hour that passes without complications brings her closer to wellness.  Thanks for all your prayers, good wishes, and love sent our way. I have been telling Linda about your kind words every day - not sure that she's hearing all I say (that's not new!) but I know she's hearing some of it.

  6. Yahoo ... thank you so much for keeping us all in the loop ... keep the good news coming! Of course Jim was "in the neighbourhood" ... where else would he be? I am sure just the mention of his name brought a smile to Linda's face ... and perhaps a vision of a "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"! Wouldn't be suprised if she breaks in to song and dance. You GO Girl!
