Thread Name: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts
Hi everyone, Thank you all soooo much for all your good thoughts. I just got back from the hospital, (or as some of you say - from hospital)
Mike had a good night. They're keeping him on dialysis cause it's just doing such a good job cleaning out his blood. They took him off the sedation medication yesterday morning and he doesn't want to wake up yet. Not to worry. John, his RN said they want to check his cognitive responses and then they they will put him back to sleep a few days longer. They need to make sure he can breathe completely on his own before they take him off the respirator. His skin is much better today, a bit more elasticity, not quite so turgid.
I've just about lost my voice but i just need to make sure I'm drinking my water.
My daughter Tina and her husband left to go home to Arizona last night. Tracy and Gayatri have to leave tonight back to Chicago. Mike's brother and sister leave Mon night back to Arizona and my son, Alex with wife and daughter have to leave Tuesday evening, Michigan.
I think I'll go back to work Wed.   I've used up a lot of leave that I was saving for our vacation. Oh well, I'll just have to use LWOP, I don't care. Mike WILL be with me end of Jan for the cruise, right, Seamus?
Again thank you all so much. I'll try to keep you posted. Love to you all.   Tawmmie
