Things are looking up

[annathepiper]

For those of you who haven't already seen this news over on kathrynt or mamishka's journals, finally, finally, that damned breathing tube is out of solarbird. They took it out of her around 1:30 this afternoon, turned off her sedation and pretty much all of her meds, and put her on a 50-percent oxygen mix to help her lungs along. spazzkat, risu, and I were all with her this afternoon, and she came close to waking up quite a few times, though she's really still kind of a different plane from the rest of us. It'll be another day or two before she's fully back with us.

But at least, finally, this hurdle has been cleared. She'll be in the ICU for a few more days yet as well, so I'm still hitting the hospital for the day shift, but we'll see if this situation changes maybe later this week.

mamishka brought us teriyaki tonight, and auntmonkey will be checking in tomorrow with a dinner contribution. And to all the Norwescon folks now looking in on my journal, hiya, and I'm already telling Dara that you're asking after her. Keep the good wishes coming, everyone!
