A Bit of an Upturn

Things look better tonight. Amacker is on less oxygen, and her various tests show her lungs are working better. There is a very kind and very informative night nurse. He has been with her for the last three nights and seemed to be very pleased with her overall progress. He showed us all the numbers he has taken in a sort of time-lapse, and explained to us that overall there is great progress. He wasn’t at all concerned about the device they’re putting in tomorrow. He called it an I.V.C. He said it’s very common for patients who are in bed to get one.

Thanks, Richard. I was worried reading about that Lung thing, ARDS. It can cause organ failure? Well - she doesn't seem to have too many organs left! So, thanks for the report of the night nurse. It was reassuring.
Love you tons.

Richard, you had me worried with the clots and all. Thanks for the update that she is progressing well.

Like Chef Juke said, please take care of yourself. I'm on campus more often than not; let me know if you need anything.
