Jan is getting well

One step at a time Jan is getting better. This evening she was interested in my invitation to come home to her own bed instead of this uncomfortable hospital bed. She nodded and smiled, then rolled her eyes saying "dream on"...

She is very active, too active for the likes of the day nurse. She was wearing a restraining coat (untied) to keep her in bed. She seems to be planning already a get away. Whe trying to sleep, she turned and tossed blankets, arranged and re-arranged those infernal wires and tubes. The nurse told Louise that Jan took the IV off, so they switched it to the left arm, because she cannot use the right arm yet...

Upset, frustrated, sad, depressed, tired, overwhelmed and more is what she must be feeling. She appreciates our love and often reciprocates.

Bring your happiness and hopefulness. She sees that in your face and will lighten her days at the ICU.

Thanks on behalf of my wife for your unquestionable love,

-Fede

Last night, Laura reported that Jan asked for a pen and a pencil to write! They gave her the pen and a notepad, she took the pen, looked at the paper, then put them aside. She curved upward one side of her mounth (Oh well, it was a nice try..)
