Hello All,Oh, for better days...
Mom is having a tough time. She is extremely anxious and restless, but without the facilities to express herself. She almost knocked the passive motion machine off the bed by squirming, and her nurse said that she has an incredibly high tolerance for the anti-anxiety medicine, so that doesn't help anything. I spent time tonight by her bed, assuring her that she was OK when she would wake, and being quiet when she was asleep. She would be calm for about two minutes, and then she would wake and start arching her back and moving around, which causes her heartrate to elevate and her breathing rate to increase. I think it is important for her to have reassurance that she will be OK, so I will not be going to the shop tomorrow. She seems to be at a critical point, coming off the sedation, but not coherent. The goal is to get her off sedation, off the vent and off the ICU. It looks like things will get worse before they get better.
Love,
Geoff

Hang in there, Honey. You are doing an incredible job of holding everything together. You are loved and being prayed for all across the country! Be strong. Thank you for posting the photos of the wedding day, too. You and Heather look so very happy and your mother and Jennifer and Heather look so beautiful.

I miss your mother. A lot. And this is all so devastating for you all. I know it is. If you need anything or need to yell and scream or cry, just call.
