ICU #28

Just quick update - we were in tonight and Barb (nurse) told us Linda had smiled for her!! She's also responding to questions - nodding and shaking her head. Also another pleural cavity tube out tonight. Still in and out of consciousness but making progress. Hopefully tomorrow we'll hear results from ct scan, x-ray and cultures.

Good night - sweet dreams!

  11. Happy Birthday Lucille!
    What a year for you ... I hope you can take a moment to reflect on all the happy memories your family has had over the years and that brings a smile to your face! Each day Linda gets stronger and by next year you can make her take you on a much deserved vacation for your birthday ... heck ... I think she can take us ALL on a vacation!
    Take care and have the happiest birthday possible!
    Hugs to you, Lorraine and the pups... and Linda-lou too!
