Tonight she moved from ICU to a 'step down' unit.  She was able to do the entire hours of  dialysis that doctors wanted her to do for the past week and her blood pressure decided to cooperate!

She is better is spirit and mind.  She is slowly starting to eat again.    She is doing physical therapy each day and getting into a chair daily. 

Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts.  I know it means a lot to her to know all of you are pulling for her.
