Just bumping this up:

Remember it is in Cdn Funds. :)


Cards
The mailing address is:

Hi everyone. It's 1830mtn on Sunday, and I'm finally getting to an update.

Thanks to fantastic care, your prayers and support, more than our share of Christmas miracles, and her innate ornery deyermination, Lee has graduated from ICU!

She is now in a recovery ward, free of most of the stuff that's been keeping her alive... anything can happen at any time, and there are still miles to go, but I think we are finally ready to see what's hiding behind Door #2.

Lee has had a number of visitors; colleagues from her school, students, and family. She has also gone on 2 'Field. Trips' sitting up in a wheelchair with me driving. Apparently I'm not supposed to take a trached patient off the ward... twice. My bad :-)

She has been plugged for newly 48 hrs, and is tolerating that well... sooner than later, the docs will decide she can have the trache removed. She talks - but faintly - and smiles, nods, waves and thumbs-up at her visitors, and really enjoyed seeing something besides my ugly mug.

But she is tired, too, and sleeps a lot... these excursions and visits are great, but the trick will be to keep her from becoming over-tired.

This was a great weekend. Thanks again for being part of our journey!
 
Can't "like" the update enough!! SUCH wonderful news, for you and Lee! Thank you so much for keeping us all in the loop during this frightening time....I hope she knows the warm and loving vibes that have been coming her way from people all around the world!
 
This whole story has been quite miraculous. Keep RESTING, Really, just sleep it all off so you can be well again!!
