Wow, what a day! We saw Sally and she was able to move her eyes and hands a little bit. The nurse said she's breathing on her own and that they will probably remove the intubation tube this evening as soon as she can raise her head. She's making terrific progress!
An gentleman from an organization called Mended Hearts came this afternoon and brought a large red heart-shaped stuffed pillow for Sally to use to press against her chest when she has to cough or sneeze. The organization consists of people who have had open-heart surgery who band together to encourage one another and patients who are experiencing this for the first time. They have regular monthly meetings and they invited Sally to join them. Great idea!
Nurses and Techs from other floors who have ministered to her in the last few days keep coming by to check on her. Everybody should have a chance to see how many people love them and care for them the way Sally has seen demonstrated these past few days.
Sally was in a little pain when we left her so they gave her something and we trust she'll have a good night.
