The glass is definitely half full. Marci is smiling and laughing when she is not sleeping. And she is still sleeping a lot. But still angelic sleep. She asks me to crawl in with her and I tell her I will when they get done with the shift change and there are not so many people around. (purely platonic ; )
Marci got a wash finally. She remembers that I was here yesterday and that her mom and brother came to see her last night. Definite improvements. Her brother Donnie used his old EMT skills to straighten out her IV so that darn alarm will not go off so much (thanks mister!)
I have not asked her the math question yet... : )
She will probably move out of ICU today. That means no night time visits, though. They are pretty liberal about visiting hours in ICU. And the staff here is first rate.
She says she is ready to go home, but she is still hooked up to the IV and the short walk from the bed to the loo is tiring, so going home is not an option yet. And home will probably be the grandparents house for a while is my guess as we will most likely need the help.
They sent out her samples to external testing firms. I guess that they do not have the equipment to test for things like Japanese B Encephalitis here in New Braunfels. It will take over a week to get the results back, but when she does get to go home (hopefully before that!) they will send her home with pill forms of the heavy duty stuff they are pumping her up with now.
MRI ahead some time this morning. Crossing fingers tightly in relation to that as it will be telling.
Kira is doing well and getting a little spoiled after a great birthday and lots of quality time with Cha-Cha as she calls Marci's mom. She does wake up going 'mama mama mama' but that is nothing unusual. It is unusual that mama is not there though and you can tell that she can tell. But she is a trooper and was very happy to be reunited with her little potty last night. High fives all around after a nice poopy in the little green toilet. Not bad for a girl days into her second year.
Everyone asks how I am doing. Tired. Beat. Not scared anymore- more hopeful. Six hours of sleep last night. Woke up with a sore throat as I did not have anyone to turn me on my side when I was snoring. Gonna make myself eat three times today.
Time to get some work done and then wake Marci up for breakfast. No scolding about priorities now... I tried to wake her up for breakfast already but that walk to the toilet tuckered her out!!
Thanks to all for their well wishes and prayers.

Christ on a cracker, darlin' - when you guys decide to have a crisis you don't mess around! None of those half-assed ankle sprains or pulled muscles for you!
Gary and I are sending Marci and you SO much love, and SO many healing thoughts and prayers. I have the deepest faith that with such a wonderful husband, Marci will be back to her sweet healthy self in no time. :)
Much love -
Dina and Gary
