Rather than cards or flowers, I was asked for a donation address for the U of A:

Remember it is in Cdn Funds.

Oh boy they're going to get a TON of cards! Would love to be there when she gets to read them.

An hour ago, they took Lee off the last Inotrope (BP medication), so now she is physically stable on her own.... and they are weaning her off life support, so in a few days she will be au natural.

She is sleepy and not very responsive today, but that isn't unusual at this stage. Everybody needs a down day once in a while.

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, from both of us; this had been a long ordeal, just to get to here, and I'm sure there is still a long way to go.

If you guys have an urge, it might also be nice to send a card to:

The staff at Neuro-ICU, Unit 4A4,
University of Alberta Hospital, 8440-112 Street NW,
Edmonton Alberta
T6G 2B7

This whole team adopted Lee; I am just thrilled with how well she has been cared for, and too often, we forget to thank the people who do the day-to-day stuff.

Thanks again @Gerry for taking the time to keep us informed. I'm so relieved that things are moving in a great direction.

I'm grateful to hear that Lee is progressing so well!
I know that patience will be indicated and helpful in the days ahead.

Of course, the prayers and support continue.

Bumpity bump so Lee stays on page 1.

I went to the card shop this morning. The first thank you card I saw said "Really appreciate all you do." Is that an omen or what?

I believe it is!

Blessing on your family and the staff at the hospital.

@Gerry. Wonderful idea to send the staff a card. I just picked one up for them. Continued prays for another good day for all!

@Gerry - I've been sharing the journey with my pastor. She is thankful for Lee's progress and amazed that a shared interest like figure skating brings so many people around the world in a community of love for each other.

I too am thankful that the staff are so caring and alert to all changes.

 

[Nan]

It's so good to hear about continued good progress. Make sure you take care of yourself, too.

 

[sweetsparky]

Thanks Gerry. So happy for such good news.

 

[4rkidz]

just bumping this up - to send positive vibes for @Really hope someone is taping the skating for her this weekend so she can review when she is feeling better.

 

[Badams]

I'm just now reading all of this! I will be sure to send off a card to Lee!!! Prayers for a speedy recovery! I'm happy she's doing well now.

 

[Buzz]

Lots of love and prayers to Lee for her continued recovery! And lots of hugs to Gerry and the rest of their family in these trying times. I hope Lee knows how much we miss her!

 

[PRlady]

Gerry, I thought of Lee while watching the GPF this weekend....I hope that by Worlds she'll be back watching and commenting.

Even though, nice lady that she is, she will never come close to being the snarkiest among us.

 

[Matryeshka]

Catching up on FSU news, and wanted to add my name to the well-wishers. Hope for a speedy recovery!

 

[Marge_Simpson]

Bumping!
Sent a card and will mail more during the week.

 

[halffull]

Hope Lee had a good weekend of rest and improvement! I also hope Gerry and the rest of the family had a good rest too. Sending hugs

Great news!

 

[Gerry]

Very short update right now... will do more later.

The weekend was very up-and-down; Saturday showed some promise, but Sunday she was unresponsive. Physically, she is doing very well though, which is encouraging.

So this morning at 0630, she nodded when I asked if she had a good sleep, shook her head when I asked if she had any pain, sort-of, and when I kissed my fingers and put them to her lips she kissed back.

Sort of shrugged when I told her the sound of breathing thru the trache was like a cat purring ... as if to say 'if you don't like it, too bad.'

Good start to the day, but things could go sideways at any point.

More later...

 

[skatesindreams]

Thank you, Gerry.
You and Lee are in my thoughts.

Thanks for the news Gerry. I hope things keep moving in a positive direction.
