Hello all.

Well I got to feel semi-normal today and went to work. 730am to 130pm. I was pretty weary but it still felt good to be doing something else besides sitting in a hospital room. Ted spent (an uneventful) last night with Amanda and then left at noon to run into Rouge/Severstal Steel. Thank you Susan for coming by the hospital and hanging with Amanda for a couple hours. Both Ted and I got back to the hospital around 2pm.

They finally moved Amanda out of her ICU room to a regular room – so check with me before coming to visit as we have a new address. The news is a bit more encouraging today – there is a wonderful respiratory therapist named Laura who has been tracking down another medical supply place that we can use and is busy filling out and faxing the info they need to get her the correct bi-pap machine. We are pushing to get it by the end of today so that she can sleep with it tonight, get tested in the morning and go home tomorrow.

So that’s what we are hoping and waiting for.

Of course I will keep you updated.

just Laurel
