Sleeping Beauty

Cathy has been on the trach collar since 9 am. She has been told that if she can tolerate it for several hours, orders will written to move her back 'on the floor'.

More samples were drawn this morning for cultures. As a precaution Cathy is being treated as if she has an infection. The final results of the cultures taken at St Johns will determine if these treatments continue. This morning, Dr Saggar (the brother) reiterated that they do not believe Cathy has an infection.

This morning Cathy is relaxed and calm. The stresses of the past 72+ hours are showing less and less on her face.

Sleeping Beauty
by Michael Anderson

I sit awake, watching you sleeping.
Ah, such beauty and extravagance.
The stars in the sky wilted and weeping,
Dimmen in light of your radiance.
The darkest eyes among the living.
A sweet smile coming of tender lips.
The aura of a goddess surrounds you giving-
A mere man of morals unwitting slips.

Thank you God for an uneventful day! I hope that you were able to tolerate the trach collar long enough to be moved out of ICU. I'm praying for all those cultures to be clear! New lung here you come!

We'll be there to visit this Saturday, 9/27...just 6 days away! I can't wait! Any special requests from Disneyland?

Loving you bunches!
BonBon
