ICU #1c

I'm home for the night - the roads are treacherous - icy and snowy with more snow to come and Linda insisted that I stay safely at home this evening. When I got to ICU this morning, she was sitting up with the respirator gone and looking remarkably perky. The glue seems to have worked on the rupture and her WBC continues to trend down. All vitals are great. In fact, she was moved to the ICU 'overflow' area where they put the comparatively 'well' patients when the unit starts to burst at the seams from incoming. Looks like she'll be moving to the surgical unit floor soon and then we'll restart our countdown for home.

  1. I'm so thankful on two fronts: a) that Linda is rebounding so quickly and b) that you took her advice and got off those roads, Lorraine. Calgary's weather was featured on our local Saskatoon news tonight. Looks pretty darned treacherous! Major hug headed your way, sis!

  6. Linda and Lorraine, I am so happy to hear things are heading in the right direction. Soon, hopefully that direction will be home. That terrible weather looks like it is making a mess of the roads and the good news is "IT'S COMING HERE" I guess we had to get snow sometime. Take care both of you.

  7. Ok, Calgary weather trumps ours! Glad to hear L is responding well. You will be able to write a book on how to navigate hospitals and illnesses.
