Wood Chips? No ice chips. Mom finally got the wonderful taste of water - though it has to be carefully spaced out hourly so as not to counteract the effects of the medicine taking the water away from her brain.
How many animals can you name in one minute? If you're Julia, the answer today is 15.
She is doing remarkably well. (To give you a clue, she wanted to edit our blog post before we sent it out...) The nurse left a few minutes ago and was praising mom's progress, all positive signs for the moment. But as she said, if Mom were out of the woods completely, she would not still be in ICU. She has been put on beta blockers, but I'll rely on Jess to fill in what that all means. She is uncomfortable, tired and very thirsty, but at the moment, is sleeping soundly.
All of us appreciate the love and support you are giving Mom. She wants to have more strength than she knows she has right now, and your kind loving words bring her comfort. We read her your posts as they come.
Thanks too for your kind words for us. There is power in three, and we're sticking together and making it through with the magnificent support of our spouses and all of our friends. Thank you

Julia: Your faithful friend and waiter at Bucci's, Tino, sends his love and well wishes and was so sorry to hear that arguably their best patron is in the hospital! Sending lots of love and sunshine your way, Cindy, JaNell, and Abbey
Dear Julie,
Carolyn and I are sending you our love and prayers for you to get better soon. I know you are a strong woman and you have great determination. My mom sends your her love as well. We will keep your well being in our hearts.
Love, Jeanie
Aunt Julie, we're thinking of you! My parents are camping and out of range this weekend but I'm sure they are with me when I say that we're sending you all our love! I wish we were in the Bay so that we could visit, too. Love, Sara
