I am sitting in the hospital parking lot and had to post a message.  I just left kitkatz and Victor and everything is so much better than it was yesterday.  I spent 2 hours here and kitkatz was as aware and alert as I have ever seen her, and able to tell me what's been going on. I honestly was surprised to see her doing so well. The best news is that she is not in pain, and she's no longer on pain medications. They hope to move her from ICU if all goes well, so she may be in a regular room by tomorrow.
She had her feisty spirit and sense of humor. She said the Grim Reaper took two swipes at her but she told him "No, this is not my time."
Poppy, she said the card you sent was beautiful.
Darth, she said she's not dead yet. She's going to get you, and your little dog too.

Keep sending her good mojo! I think it's working.   :yahoo;

you mean, kinda like a playoff beard?  I kinda have one of those, but it's mostly cuz they won't let me have scissors, and standing at the sink in the bathroom is actually a little painful for me at the moment

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.
