Linda continues to get stronger. Her vitals - blood pressure, heart rate - are improving every day. The Team is hopeful about removing the respirator tomorrow. First, Linda's sedation needs to be reduced and she needs to be more responsive - responding to questions, squeezing hands. So they started reducing the sedation today - it will be a slow process. But we're so glad that they're taking time to make sure this goes well. She was opening her eyes tonight - wonderful to see!! Still haven't heard about the blood culture but she is still getting the gram positive organism antibiotics and The Team is pleased with how the antibiotics are working. So all in all, a good day!
Judi, Peter, and Liz arrived - wonderful to see them! Both Uncle John and Peter have similar senses of humour and kept us chuckling all through dinner.
