A new ICU...

Mom went in to Saint Anthony's for an MRI yesterday afternoon. Dad said that one of the doctor's came in and the results were "clear". He wasn't sure what they were checking for though. I asked him to ask the doctor the next time they come in - but for now, I'll take "clear".

She had a respiratory treatment just before I left last night and it was with Chris, who has been there the last three nights. He's a funny guy and has made us all laugh each time he comes in. But what I really like, is how he calls mom "beautiful" and tells her what a beautiful smile she has. It's really sweet.

Today - just talked to dad and he said that he spoke to Dr. Lin-Q (not the correct spelling) and they will be moving my mom to their ICU floor this afternoon. He made it sound precautionary, but the deal is that her oxygen levels have been really low. Right now she is at 97 with 15L. She had been in the 90's with 2-5L.

Please pray that mom gets the strength she needs to cough out the conjestion in her chest. It's critical. Pray that she relearns how to use the muscles she uses to speak and swallow so that it's not so hard for her.

Thank you.
