It hurts to read this.  We all want her to be better.  I hate that she is back on the ventilator.  Maybe she can feel all our love and prayers and can fight a little more.   Please Dear Lord, watch over our friend and hold her in the palm of your hand.

Yesterday they started a feeding pump as Kitkatz was in deep sedation on the ventilator. She has 4 IV's and a stoma.
They took 3 liters of fluid during dialysis. Her blood pressure remained good during treatment.
Her hubby Victor said tonight that they are slowly decreasing the sedation and she's aware more, and awake for short periods.
She is frustrated that she cannot communicate. She tried to write but he said it was too hard to make out the writing.
After some time he was able to decipher what she wrote, and figured out that she was cold.
He got her a sheet and extra blanket and she went back to sleep.
Victor is staying with her all day.
I tried to drive out there tonight but traffic was so bad that I will try again tomorrow.
Cards and notes are appreciated, I'm sure.

Kitkatz is always the one in our corner when the proverbial excrement hits the rotating blades.  Am keeping her in my thoughts, and Victor best keep her stick shined up so she can wield it when she's feeling better

lots of love to Kitz and her family at this time and praying for a full recovery

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.

 :flower; UPDATE!!!! :flower;

Victor's update included some good news (FINALLY!).

KK is awake, ventilator-less, and talking today.  WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!

This is a far cry from last night where she kept her eyes closed most of the time, barely answered yes/no questions, and was still on the ventilator.
