Chillin'

A short post tonight.
Resting and getting stronger was the regimen for today. Judi is clearly much "lighter" from an awareness perspective now that her mouth and nose are tube free and she is only on a low dose of pain medicine. That's a Steve term , not a medical term. She responds to various things around her by opening her eyes and looking around, heart rate goes up, etc. She REALLY gets mad when they suction out the breathing tube because it makes her cough. Again, baby steps, but in the right direction. Hopefully this will continue throughout the weekend and we can get her ready for back surgery next week.
