thanks again for the toughts and prayers. again, PBT magic makes it's work.
i went to see her today. she's off the respirator, but terribly thin and weak. she wasn't recognizing me, and it didn't seem like she understood what we were telling her, but she had just got a shot of morphine. she's not out of the woods yet, but the most critical 48 hours are over. it's just hard to see her like that, she's usually so proud, now she's stuck with a bag instead of a colon and no dentures, if she saw herself, she'd just be horrified. tough cookie for living through all this.
i believe that it's just ridiculous - she caught both pneumonia and c. difficile in the hospital. might as well stay home. we had to gown up and wear gloves to enter her room.
