Saturday April 21

On Friday afternoon, they stopped her heart for a few moments and did a reboot.   It worked.  Heart rate went from 135 to a normal 73. 

Everything seems to be back on track.  Sitting in a chair eating.  Another good friend Terri, is with her this morning, son Jim and Libby’s daughter Lisa took the next shift.  Lisa will be there all night.  Bob goes back at 5am.  He is getting a much needed break and some sleep.  Housekeeping chores. 

Around 4pm, they moved her out of ICU and down the hall to a another care unit.  Took one of 4 tubes out of her chest.  Great progress.   Another tube is due out on Sunday and then the rest on Monday.   Monday is pharmacy day where they load up her suitcase with lots and lots of pills, educate us on what pill does what, and the impact of each.   Some of these meds will eventually be eliminated as her health improves.

Glad to hear everything is coming along. We are thinking about you all, or y'all, as the say down south.
