Friday Morning

We saw the lung specialist this morning. He said Karen is very, very close to coming off the ventilator (she is on minimum assist settings) but not quite ready. Perhaps this weekend. We want her off, but also want to make sure she is ready. I also expect that she will remain in ICU for several days after she gets off the ventilator.

Karen is alert again today and looks good considering all she has been through. I feel that we are headed in the right direction but still expect this to be a long and slow recovery.
