Dad no longer Homicidal

Still crabby though. Note to nurses: When a parent is already feeling impotent, don't take away the little things that they can do to make a difference no matter how small. Even something like reading and signing a stupid form so that their heavily medicated child doesn't have to do it.
[more ranting excised]

So Ev is now in a respiratory therapy mode that makes her feel like a Macey's Thanksgiving Day parade balloon. Extra pressure and hold on the intake. It hurts like hell on those ribs. (sorry but best word I could think of). But doctors think they need to get her off the vent because the vent could be contributing some side effects so they are being aggressive. Hope it works.

Thanks to everyone. Sister Sandberg, you are a fabulous cook. How DOES Steve keep his girlish figure???

Keep up the good work Ev! You'll have that tube out in no time.

Do the doctors have any estimates for extubation?

Ev, we're cheering for you.

Today we took Jennie Rose out to fly kites in the park with the other kids. As soon as they got the hang of it, the wind died down. Hard to keep a kite up with no wind. We'll show you video of it sometime, Ev.

I completely agree with you, Barry, about Bobbie's cooking. But the part about my figure being, well, girlish . . . I don't know. Love your posts, though.
