The ICU closed at 3:30 for visits so I will update you with how she was when I last saw her. She is stable in that her ventilation is keeping her breathing and her fluids have been starting to lower. This will help the pneumonia but lack of fluids hurt her heart so they are carefully balancing how this is to be done. She has to get a few numbers in line before they will remove the ventilator but the main number is heading in the right direction at the moment. She will stir when moved or when talked to but it does upset her since she tries to wake up and talk but the tube prevents that and she struggles so we are finding it best to just talk softly and hold her hand when we are there. She opens her right eye once in a while to see who is there but don't know if she can focus very well yet.
We are going back up and I will update you with more info this evening.
