Thursday Morning

A bit of encouraging news this morning. The nurse called me at 6:50 this morning (actually scared me) and said that Karen was more alert this morning and asked for me. I hustled down to the hospital to see her. She is more alert but still very weak. Right now they are sitting her up in the chair/bed thing (at her request) and hopefully she can sit up for a couple of hours. Today she will be getting dialysis (timing: whenever they show up) and they will also be testing her breathing again with hopes of taking her off the ventilator. They are pushing hard for this and that would be a major step forward in her recovery.

I spent some time this morning reading to her some of the many cards and emails you have sent and she smiled about those. There are so many I will have to spread these out over several readings! Thanks for all of these.

Today I am encouraged and very thankful that she is more alert, but also reminding myself that there will be both good and bad days ahead.
