Mom and I visited with Katherine for a couple hours this evening.  We arrived right as she started to wake up and was able to "talk" via a notepad and paper for about an hour or so before going back to sleep again.  She's dazed and asking questions about the surgery and what happened but was in good spirits and even joking with us.

She is still on a ventilator while they ween her off the last BP meds and make sure she can breath on her own.  Of course, she hates it but understands that it has to stay in.  Cross your fingers that it can come out tomorrow and she can be comfortable again.

As Anne mentioned, she was alert and communicating with us with a pen and paper. She still has her humor even with everything that's going on. I swear, she is the most amazing person I know.

We are hoping the ventilator comes out tomorrow so she can be a little more comfortable. Dad and I will be bringing her laptop and stuff to her so hopefully she will be able to log in when she feels better to let you all know how she is doing from her own fingertips.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. You guys are an awesome bunch of people and I know she cares for you.

We visited with KK again last night and she was VERY anxious to get the ventilator out.  Though her stats had improved all day, she was still on the one med to keep her BP up and she needed to be off of that completely first.  There is rumor that the vent could be coming out today....and god forbid when it does because I have a feeling she's going to have a LOT of words to say and they will NOT be nice, if you know what I mean.

Besides the ventilator, she's doing well.  Keeps asking us for a Diet Coke and when we tell her no, she flips us off.  LOL  Victor has promised her that when she gets out, he'll buy her as much diet coke as she wants....and I'm sure she's going to hold him to that one.

Break out the beer and pompoms, people, because my sister is now minus one ventilator!  WOOT WOOT!!!

She has her laptop at the hospital and there is decent wifi so I'm sure once she's feeling up to it you'll see you online either here or FB or both!
