Since tonight is Halloween and we have children coming to the door, I will be brief. Her vital statistics are the same (temperature remains elevated). The pneumonia is leaving her body very very slowly. We had (in my view) a break through today. She was alert most of the afternoon and was lifting her legs and arms. She responded well of the physical therapist. He is working with her so her muscles do not tie up. In a few days they will want to have try to walk so her muscles will need to be in good shape.
When Nancy went to leave at 5PM she grabbed her had and held tight. Like she was saying, "Please do not go". The hospital clears the ICU rooms of everyone from 5-7 to do change of shift things. Our son-in-law Shaun went down to be with her tonight -- Nancy is giving treats out to the kids who come to our door.
I would say we were excited with her progress this afternoon.
Val and Nancy
