Kathy had a rough night and could not get comfortable. If you know Kathy then you know that this is actually somewhat normal. Additionally, Her nurse looked a bit frazzled when I came in. Kathy was happy to see me and she guided me through a yoga / stretching session for her legs and arms. Once that was done it was massage time. Later today Kath will get a Reiki massage and she is excited about this.
Her intensivist and neurologist were both in. Gilson (Neurologist) is still impressed. She has better strength in her upper body and her eyes are wide open and almost look like normal. The intensivist lowered her O2 to 40 percent and plans to take her off the vent today for about 2 hrs, if her oxygen saturation stays okay at 40 percent. These are all great indicators. We will know more this afternoon.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to leave the room and the hospital Ross. Hang in there! Sounds like Kathy is gaining strength, which is awesome! I can't imagine what kind of pain she must be going through though. By the sounds of it, she's a fighter! Give her our love. We're continuing to keep all of you in our prayers.
